Top-down control of planktonic ciliates by microcrustacean predators is stronger in lakes than in the ocean

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Xiaoteng Lu from the University of have published the research work: Top-down control of planktonic ciliates by microcrustacean predators is stronger in lakes than in the ocean, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: Since the aim was to analyse top-down control of planktonic ciliates, the authors focus the following discussion on clearance rates. This study provided general implications for the coupling between ciliates and their microcrustacean predators in freshwater and marine food webs.
• how: The fact that the authors did not find a positive relationship between ciliate size . . .
