Trophic indices for micronektonic fishes reveal their dependence on the microbial system in the North Atlantic
Abstract The importance of microbes for the functioning of oceanic food webs is well established, but their relevance for top consumers is still poorly appreciated. Large differences in individual size, and consequently in growth rates and the relevant spatial and temporal scales involved, make the...
