Trait-based community ecology of phytoplankton
E Litchman, CA Klausmeier - Annual review of ecology …, 2008 - annualreviews.org
Trait-based approaches are increasingly used in ecology. Phytoplankton communities, with
a rich history as model systems in community ecology, are ideally suited for applying and …

Beyond the '3/4-power law': variation in the intra-and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals
DS Glazier - Biological reviews, 2005 - cambridge.org
In this review I show that the '3/4-power scaling law'of metabolic rate is not universal, either
within or among animal species. Significant variation in the scaling of metabolic rate with …

Growth physiology and fate of diatoms in the ocean: a review
Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton community. They tend to dominate under
natural high-nutrient concentrations, as well as during artificial Fe fertilisation experiments …

Unimodal size scaling of phytoplankton growth and the size dependence of nutrient uptake and use
Phytoplankton size structure is key for the ecology and biogeochemistry of pelagic
ecosystems, but the relationship between cell size and maximum growth rate (μmax) is not …

Competition for nutrients and light: testing advances in resource competition with a natural phytoplankton community
A key challenge in ecology is to understand how nutrients and light affect the biodiversity
and community structure of phytoplankton and plant communities. According to resource …

A size‐structured food‐web model for the global ocean
We present a model of diverse phytoplankton and zooplankton populations embedded in a
global ocean circulation model. Physiological and ecological traits of the organisms are …

Characteristic sizes of life in the oceans, from bacteria to whales
The size of an individual organism is a key trait to characterize its physiology and feeding
ecology. Size-based scaling laws may have a limited size range of validity or undergo a …
