Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

Planktonic mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates are ubiquitous protists and often
abundant in marine environments. Recently many phototrophic dinoflagellate species have …

We present an analysis of the global impact of microplanktonic grazers on marine
phytoplankton and its implications for remineralization processes in the microbial …

Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

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

For an algal bloom to develop, the growth rate of the bloom‐forming species must exceed
the sum of all loss processes. Among these loss processes, grazing is generally believed to …

The cosmopolitan presence of dinoflagellates in aquatic habitats is now believed to be a
direct consequence of the different trophic modes they have developed through evolution …

Three types of feeding mechanisms are known in dinoflagellates: pallium feeding, tube
feeding, and direct engulfment. Pallium feeding has only been described for heterotrophic …

Microzooplankton dominate trophic interactions and biogeochemical processes at the base
of pelagic marine food webs and so their responses to a changing ocean environment have …

The oceans are a small source of light (C2–C6) non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), which
influence the photo-oxidant chemistry of the remote marine atmosphere. Previous work has …
