Here we review all published data on phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing
using the dilution technique to better understand the role of this group of grazers in different …

We show the results of a comparative, cross-ecosystem, analysis of the relative importance
of ciliates as carbon sources for copepod, and, specifically, evaluated the strength of the …

An upgraded and revised physically–biologically coupled, nested 3D model with 4 km grid
size is applied to investigate the seasonal carbon flux and its interannual variability. The …

Selection for ciliates in the presence of phytoplankton has been previously shown for some
species of copepods. However, the factors determining preference for this heterotrophic prey …

Vertical distribution of faecal pellets (FP), their sedimentation and the production rates of FP
by mesozooplankton were studied during a cruise on and off the Iberian shelf in August …

In order to characterize copepod feeding in relation to microbial plankton community
dynamics, we combined metabarcoding and metabolome analyses during a 22‐day …

Larvae and post-larvae of the lobate ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi consumed significant
quantities of microphytoplankton and microzooplankton prey in controlled experiments …

The present investigation reviews published data on the feeding rates and prey selection of
Oithona similis females, Calanus finmarchicus nauplii and females in the Irminger Sea in …

European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) are
two species of economical and ecological significance in the Bay of Biscay (north-east …

Mesozooplankton communities in upwelling ecosystems are known to be influenced by
seasonal upwelling enhancing primary productivity. However, the extent to which changes …
