Fig. 4: Functional responses of six representative grazers from different genera.
From: Broad phylogenetic and functional diversity among mixotrophic consumers of Prochlorococcus
Ingestion rates of Prochlorococcus are plotted as a function of prey concentration for a Florenciella (UHM3021), b Rhizochromulina (UHM3071), c DictyX (UHM3050), d ChrysoH (UHM3501), e Chrysochromulina (UHM4110), f Hap2 (UHM4150). Holling type II curves were fitted to the data to estimate Cmax (maximum clearance rate, the initial slope of the curve) and Imax (maximum ingestion rate, the asymptote of the curve). Grazer and prey trajectories from experiments used to estimate functional responses are shown in Supplementary Fig. S6.
