TL;DR: Female of C. pacificus can obtain their maximal daily ration at relatively low carbon concentrations of large cells, as the size of food particles increases, and the carbon concentration at which this ingestion rate is achieved decreases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new extension of digestion theory and reinterpretation of published empirical evidence suggest that the principal pathway of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from phytoplankton to bacteria is through the byproducts of animal ingestion and digestion rather than via excretion of DOC directly from intact phyto-ankton.

TL;DR: This work defines a new classification of multiple resource responses that is based on preference, selection and switching, and develops a set of mathematical diagnostics that elucidate model assumptions to enable modelers to make more informed decisions.

TL;DR: Life histories for the dominant, larger copepods of the subartic Pacific have been constructed by sampling from weatherships patrolling Ocean Station P during 1980 and 1981, suggesting low mortality rates for copepodite stages, particularly at depth in the habitat occupied during diapuse.

TL;DR: A life table analysis suggests that the demographic disadvantage associated with daily migration across a thermal gradient can be overcome if mortality is reduced by as little as 16 percent.
