Numerical and functional response of phagotrophic aquatic protists: the ideal experiment—and why we cannot get it

Protists are paramount for biogeochemical cycling in every aquatic ecosystem due to their vast population sizes and physiological versatility. Numerical response (NR) and functional response (FR) experiments are cornerstones of trait-based functional ecology and are increasingly studied experimental...
