Contrasting Controls on Microzooplankton Grazing and Viral Infection of Microbial Prey

The encounter and capture of bacteria and phytoplankton by microbial predators and parasites is fundamental to marine ecosystem organization and activity. Here, we combined classic biophysical models with published laboratory measurements to infer functional traits, including encounter kernel and ca...
