		<description><![CDATA[by Sergio Vallina Dept of Marine Biology and Oceanography,  Institute of Marine Sciences, Barcelona How does species richness vary with ecosystem productivity for marine phytoplankton? This question has fascinated biological oceanographers for decades. Phytoplankton communities are composed of many species of unicellular micro-algae.

However, current formulations of active prey-switching in marine ecosystem models display non-maximal feeding; the total ingestion of prey by predators decays exponentially with the number of prey species even though the &#8230; <a href="https://darwinproject.mit.edu/the-dynamics-of-dining-in-an-all-you-can-eat-phytoplankton-buffet/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The dynamics of dining in an all-you-can-eat-phytoplankton buffet</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
