Feeding 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 met...
