Addressing Prey Selection And Predator Fitness: Ingestion By, And Growth Of Ochromonas danica On Multiple Bacterial Prey
Foster, Briony L.L. (Biology, 2012-04-11)Nanoflagellates provide an important link in aquatic food webs by consuming bacterial biomass and subsequently providing nutrients to higher trophic levels by becoming prey themselves and regenerating nutrients consumed ... -
Carbon, Nitrogen And Phosphorus Stoichiometry Of A Mixotrophic Protist
Lukomski, Natalie C. (Biology, 2008-08-08)The microbial loop is one of two major pathways in aquatic systems in which nutrient and energy flow from dissolved nutrients to higher trophic levels. Protozoan-bacteria predator-prey relationships lie at the base of ... -
Comparison Of The Ingestion And Digestion Rates Of Ochromonas danica Grazing On Pseudomonas fluorescens Of Varying Food Quality
Shannon, Stephen Paul (Biology, 2007-08-23)Flagellate prey selection appears to depend on morphological characteristics of prey such as cell size and motility, as well as on physiochemical characteristics such as digestibility and cell surface characteristics. ... -
Element Stoichiometry Of Ochromonas danica As A Function Of Growth Rate And Temperature
Simonds, Savannah (Biology, 2010-03-03)The microbial loop stresses the importance of flagellated protozoa as predators of bacteria and regenerators of nutrients, the outcome of which affects higher trophic levels. The element stoichiometry of flagellates has ...
