Our new paper shows how particle surface charge influences grazing by the magnificent appendicularian. Spoiler, it may matter most to the smallest cells aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley… With Kelly Sutherland, Terra Hiebert, and @MSarsCentre

Prey particle surface property mediates differential selection by the ubiquitous appendicularian...

Cell surface properties can strongly mediate microbial interactions with predators in soil and host-pathogen systems. Yet, the role of microbial surface properties in avoiding or enhancing predation...

Our paper on microbial mortality (or not) by filter feeders is out! @SutherlandLab @psu_research @PSU_Biology eurekalert.org/news-releases…

Characterizing salps as predators of marine microbes

A huge fraction of global flows of carbon and other nutrients passes through marine microbes, little is known about their causes of death—information that in many cases determines where those...

And here's the actual paper: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/a…

Ubiquitous filter feeders shape open ocean microbial community structure and function

Abstract. The mechanism of mortality plays a large role in how microorganisms in the open ocean contribute to global energy and nutrient cycling. Salps are
