Scaling copepod grazing in a coastal upwelling system: the importance of community size structure for phytoplankton C flux

Crustacean zooplankton, often dominated by copepods and euphausiids, are the major phytoplankton grazers in coastal upwelling systems. It has been argued that zooplankton grazing is a size-dependent process, such that models incorporating the size structure of zooplankton are appropriate for describ...
