Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs
EB Sherr, BF Sherr - Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2002 - Springer
Predation in aquatic microbial food webs is dominated by phagotrophic protists, yet these
microorganisms are still understudied compared to bacteria and phytoplankton. In pelagic …

Responses by benthic organisms to inputs of organic material to the ocean floor: a review
Most of the photosynthetically produced organic material reaching the ocean-floor is
transported as settling particles, among which larger particles such as faecal pellets and …

The role of benthic foraminifera in deep-sea food webs and carbon cycling
Benthic foraminifers are a major element in deep-sea sediment and hard-substrate
communities, sometimes accounting for 50% or more of eukaryotic biomass. They feed at a …

Effect of organic carbon flux and dissolved oxygen on the benthic foraminiferal oxygen index (BFOI)
K Kaiho - Marine micropaleontology, 1999 - Elsevier
Variations in oceanic primary productivity, flux of organic carbon to the sediments, and
dissolved-oxygen levels in the water column are thought to be important in the control of …
