Functional responses for zooplankton feeding on multiple resources: a review of assumptions and biological dynamics
Modelers often need to quantify the rates at which zooplankton consume a variety of species, size classes and trophic types. Implicit in the equations used to describe the multiple resource functional response (i.e. how nutritional intake varies with resource densities) are assumptions that are not often stated, let alone tested. This is problematic because models are sensitive to the details o...
متن کاملFeeding on dispersed vs. aggregated particles: The effect of zooplankton feeding behavior on vertical flux
Zooplankton feeding activity is hypothesized to attenuate the downward flux of elements in the ocean. We investigated whether the zooplankton community composition could influence the flux attenuation, due to the differences of feeding modes (feeding on dispersed vs. aggregated particles) and of metabolic rates. We fed 5 copepod species-three calanoid, one harpacticoid and one poecilamastoid-mi...
متن کاملModel of optimal current feeding in zooplankton
Zooplankton feeding formulations in plankton models have exclusively focused on the relation between food concentration and ingestion, with respiration and excretion being treated separately, despite experimental evidence for strong links among these processes. We present an optimal current-feeding model linking ingestion, respiration, and assimilation efficiency to foraging activity. The Ivlev...
متن کاملZooplankton responses during SEEDS
During the Subarctic Pacific Iron Experiment for the Ecosystem Dynamics Study (SEEDS), chlorophyll a concentration in the iron patch reached near maximum in 9 days (D9) after the iron fertilization and after that remained more or less constant. In spite of the stability of chlorophyll a, primary production was higher than 1.4–2.0 g C m d during D9–D13. As most of the carbon synthesized by phyto...
متن کاملAn Overview of Southern Ocean Zooplankton Data: Abundance, Biomass, Feeding and Functional Relationships
There is an enormous amount of data on Southern Ocean (SO) zooplankton, mostly on their distribution with a minority addressing rate processes. This review aims to summarise these data and show where it resides, to assist SO food-web modellers or those with limited specialist knowledge of SO zooplankton. First, a brief overview is provided of the diversity and basic biology of SO zooplankton, w...
