桡足类、枝海洋类和被囊类是食草中浮游动物的主要类群。前两者存在于淡水和海水中，而后者仅限于海洋系统。在本综述中，我们整理了现有的关于代谢和繁殖率、摄食选择性和元素组成的组间差异的生态生理学知识。由此，我们预测了它们对低营养水平（浮游植物和微生物食物网）的影响，并预测了它们在不同生态条件下（如营养丰富度、Si: N比、浮游植物大小结构和自上而下控制）的流行情况。
Copepods, cladocerans and tunicates form major groups of herbivorous mesozooplankton. The former two are found in fresh and marine waters, while the latter are restricted to marine systems. In the present review, we compile existing ecophysiological knowledge about between-group differences in metabolic and reproductive rates, feeding selectivity and elemental composition. From this, we derive predictions about their impact on the lower trophic levels (phytoplankton and microbial food web) and predictions about their prevalence under different ecological conditions (e.g. nutrient richness, Si : N ratio, phytoplankton size structure and top-down control).
