Abstract

The zooplankton components in biogeochemical models drive top-down control of primary production and remineralisation, and thereby exert a strong impact on model performance. Who eats whom in oceanic plankton ecosystem models is often largely determined by body size. However, zooplankton of similar size can have different prey-size spectra. Thus, models with solely size-structured trophic interactions may not capture the full diversity of feeding interactions and miss important parts of zooplankton behavior.
