Prey size diversity hinders biomass trophic transfer and predator size diversity promotes it in planktonic communities

Body size exerts multiple effects on plankton food-web interactions. However, the influence of size structure on trophic transfer remains poorly quantified in the field. Here, we examine how the size diversity of prey (nano-microplankton) and predators (mesozooplankton) influence trophic transfer ef...
