Abstract With climate change, oceans are becoming increasingly nutrient limited, favouring growth of prokaryotic picoplankton at the expense of the larger protist plankton whose growth support higher trophic levels. Constitutive mixoplankton (CM), mi

Prorocentrum comprises a diverse group of bloom-forming dinophytes with a worldwide distribution. Although photosynthetic, mixoplanktonic phagotrophy has also been described. Recently, the small P. cf. balticum was shown to use a remarkable feeding s

Subtle Differences in the Representation of Consumer Dynamics Have Large Effects in Marine Food Web Models

Autor: Kevin J. Flynn, Douglas C. Speirs, Michael R. Heath, Aditee Mitra

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Marine Science, Vol 8 (2021)

Projecting ocean biogeochemistry and fisheries resources under climate change requires confidence in simulation models. Core to such models is the description of consumer dynamics relating prey abundance to capture, digestion efficiency and growth ra

Protist plankton are major members of open-water marine food webs. Traditionally divided between phototrophic phytoplankton and phagotrophic zooplankton, recent research shows many actually combine phototrophy and phagotrophy in the one cell; these p

Simulating Effects of Variable Stoichiometry and Temperature on Mixotrophy in the Harmful Dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum

Autor: Chih-Hsien Lin, Kevin J. Flynn, Aditee Mitra, Patricia M. Glibert

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Marine Science, Vol 5 (2018)

Results from a dynamic mathematical model are presented simulating the growth of the harmful algal bloom (HAB) mixotrophic dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum and its algal prey, Rhodomonas salina. The model describes carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus-base
