Quantitative importance and trophic role of heterotrophic dinoflagellates in a coastal pelagial food web
Open accessAbstract
The quantitative importance and trophic role of heterotrophic dinoflagellates was studed at a permanent station in the Kattegat, Denmark.Heterotrophlc dinoflagellates were most abundant during periods characterized by large phytoplankton forms (e.g.diatoms and dinoflagellates).During these periods the heterotrophic dinoflagellate blomass corresponded to between 13 and 77 % of the phytoplankton biornass.Large forms (> 20 lrn) dominated the heterotrophic dinoflagellate biornass, but smaller forms were important during periods dominated by nanoplankton.Observations on the feeding mechanisms of the most abundant heterotrophic dinoflagellates revealed species which engulf prey duectly as well as species which feed with a peduncle and a palliummechanisms w h ~c h all allow the ingestion of large prey.The succession of heterotrophic dinoflagellates is also discussed in relation to the distribution of potential competitors and predators.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
