TLDR
Cellular carbon and nitrogen content and cell volume of nutritionally and morphologically diverse dinoflagellate species were measured to determine carbon to volume and nitrogen to volume relationships.Abstract:
Cellular carbon and nitrogen content and cell volume of nutritionally and morphologically diverse dinoflagellate species were measured to determine carbon to volume (C : vol) and nitrogen to volume (N : vol) relationships. Cellular C and N content ranged from 48 to 3.0 3 10 4 pgC cell 21 21 5read more

Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry
Zoe V. Finkel,John Beardall,Kevin J. Flynn,Antonietta Quigg,Antonietta Quigg,T. Alwyn V. Rees,John A. Raven +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that cell size and elemental stoichiometry are promising ecophysiological traits for modelling and tracking changes in phytoplankton community structure in response to climate change.

Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs.
Evelyn B. Sherr,Barry F. Sherr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of predation by protists on the community structure of prey assemblages and of chemical communication between predator and prey in microbial food webs.

The role of functional traits and trade‐offs in structuring phytoplankton communities: scaling from cellular to ecosystem level
TL;DR: It is shown thatrait-based approaches to community structure, augmented by a mechanistic analysis of trade-offs among functional traits, can be successfully used to explain community composition of marine phytoplankton along environmental gradients.

Ups and Downs in the Ocean: Effects of Biofouling on Vertical Transport of Microplastics
TL;DR: The first theoretical model that is capable of simulating the effect of biofouling on the fate of microplastic, based on settling, biofilm growth, and ocean depth profiles for light, water density, temperature, salinity, and viscosity is developed.

Culture of Phytoplankton for Feeding Marine Invertebrates
TL;DR: The methods suffice for the most fastidious algae now routinely cultivable, and simplifications indicated for less demanding species are easily made; for example, omission of silicate for plants other than diatoms.

TL;DR: A set of geometric shapes and mathematical equations for calculating biovolumes of >850 pelagic and benthic marine and freshwater microalgal genera are presented and designed to minimize the effort of microscopic measurement.

An experimentally determined carbon : volume ratio for marine “oligotrichous” ciliates from estuarine and coastal waters
Mary Putt,Diane K. Stoecker +1 more
TL;DR: The study indicates that the biomass of oligotrichous ciliates in marine systems has been significantly underestimated by the use of inappropriate C: vol ratios.
