TL;DR: Bacterial populations were easier to distinguish from background fluorescence when stained with HO342 than whenstained with DAPI, because HO342 has a higher relative fluorescence quantum yield.

TL;DR: The rate at which picoplankton cells are cleared from suspension by nanoflagellates could vary by as much as twofold due solely to natural variation in cell surface hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of micro-zooplankton in controlling phytoplankton stocks in the subarctic Pacific was investigated on Super Program cruises.

TL;DR: Evidence from 7 experiments indicated that flagellate feeding is only weakly size-selective; that is, clearance rate varies, roughly, in direct proportion to prey radius, providing preliminary support of a prey capture model that is based entirely on the interaction of hydrodynamic forces and surface forces arising between freeLiving marine flagella and picoplankton-size prey.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review and synthesize results from process-oriented field studies and retrospective analyses of time-series data to document the linkages between climate, ocean circulation, and ecosystem dynamics.
