Autotrophic and microheterotrophic plankton populations were monitored in the euphotic
zone of the eastern subarctic Pacific during 6 one-month cruises in spring and summer …

This review summarizes evidence that heterotrophic (non-pigmented, phagotrophic)
dinoflagellates are often a significant component of the biomass of phagotrophic protists in …

Research on “microbial loop” organisms, heterotrophic bacteria and phagotrophic protists,
has been stimulated in large measure by Pomeroy's seminal paper published in BioScience …

In flume and field experiments we demonstrate that interfacial water flows, generated when
bottom currents interact with sea bed topography, provide a fast and efficient pathway for the …

Bacterial biomass increased five-fold in the euphotic zone (from 450 to 2250 mgC m− 2) in
response to the spring phytoplankton bloom in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean (Lat. 47° N …

The onset of the North Atlantic spring bloom is controlled by physical conditions and nutrient
availability in the surface layer. The nutrient of interest is usually considered to be nitrate. In …

Heterotrophic dinoflagellates are ubiquitous and often abundant protists in marine
environments. Recently, several novel predator‐prey relationships between heterotrophic …

Distribution, general composition and activity of heterotrophic protists, as well as the
distribution of bacteria, were assessed in the upper water column of the central Arctic Ocean …

In situ grazing rates for the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium sanguineum Hirasaka
feeding on nanociliate populations of Chesapeake Bay were determined in June and …

THIS is the first collection of papers from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS).
Formed as an international program in 1987, JGOFS has four principal elements: modelling …
