Gelatinous versus non-gelatinous zooplankton: their value as food for planktivorous coral reef fishes
Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystems, in part due to the productivity of planktivorous fishes. The planktivorous fish community contains two...

An interdisciplinary assessment of the impact of invasive gelatinous zooplankton in a French Mediterranean lagoon
Gelatinous zooplankton species can cause great concerns on biodiversity and human activities. But there is a lack of knowledge on its current...
-
Gelatinous zooplankton of the Marshall Islands, Central Tropical Pacific: an inventory
Vast regions of the Central Pacific, inhabited by low-lying Micronesian nations, have been poorly studied for zooplankton. Atolls of the Republic of...

Gelatinous and soft-bodied zooplankton in the Northeast Pacific Ocean: Phosphorus content and potential resilience to phosphorus limitation
Marine ecosystems on continental shelves face multiple challenges due to anthropogenic disturbances, many of which can change the seawater...

Summer phenology of the sub-surface gelatinous zooplankton assemblage in two North-Western Icelandic fjords
The Arctic Ocean (including sub-Arctic margins) is one of the fastest changing ecosystems affected by climate change. However, much remains unknown...

Gelatinous Plankton: Itchy Jellyfish, Appendicularians with Luxury Chalets, Filter Barrels, and Other Extraordinary Creatures
Jellyfish play a key role in gelatinous plankton, alongside chordates like appendicularians, salps, pyrosomes, and ctenophores. Appendicularians...

Spatial occurrence and abundance of marine zooplankton in Northeast Greenland
We present a large-scale survey of mesozooplankton (size range 0.2–20 mm) across coastal, shelf, and slope locations in Northeast Greenland...
-
Mock samples resolve biases in diversity estimates and quantitative interpretation of zooplankton metabarcoding data
Metabarcoding is a rapidly develo** tool in marine zooplankton ecology, although most zooplankton surveys continue to rely on visual identification...
-
Features that matter: studying how phytoplankton drives zooplankton community functional traits
Freshwater phytoplankton and zooplankton are complex and diverse communities which greatly contribute to the functioning of freshwater ecosystems,...
-
Community structure and diversity of five groups of zooplankton in the Perdido region of the Gulf of Mexico using DNA metabarcoding
The evaluation of biodiversity is a primary concern for natural sciences and society, including marine ecosystems. Zooplankton plays a crucial role...
-
Impact of zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton in north temperate coastal lakes: changes along gradients in salinity and nutrients
Zooplankton grazing at similar nutrient levels is generally regarded as lower in brackish than in freshwater lakes, but experimental evidence of this...
-
Improved histological fixation of gelatinous marine invertebrates
BackgroundGelatinous zooplankton can be difficult to preserve morphologically due to unique physical properties of their cellular and acellular...
-
Sampling Plankton
Plankton, ranging from viruses to large jellyfish, require specific sampling methods based on size. For microscopic unicellular plankton, we use...

Does structural change in the zooplankton community affect larval fish feeding in anthropogenically disturbed tropical waters?
Anthropogenic perturbations and climate change have altered the zooplankton community structure in the Klang Strait during the past 30 years, in that...

Report on the occurrence of the hydromedusa Odessia maeotica (Ostroumoff, 1896) in the north-eastern Atlantic revealed by citizen science and integrative taxonomy
Gelatinous zooplankton are essential components of healthy ecosystems. Given their characteristic life cycle, ecological aspects and adaptability to...
-
Toward a global reference database of COI barcodes for marine zooplankton
Characterization of species diversity of zooplankton is key to understanding, assessing, and predicting the function and future of pelagic ecosystems...
-
Allometric relationships of ecologically important Antarctic and Arctic zooplankton and fish species
Allometric relationships between body properties of animals are useful for a wide variety of purposes, such as estimation of biomass, growth,...

Diversity of pelagic tunicates (Appendicularia and Thaliacea) from Cuba: a review
Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), and pelagic tunicates specifically, plays key roles in marine ecosystems, contributing to diets of various predators and...
-
The fate of salp blooms: decomposition and sinking of salp carcasses
Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) biomass is an important, yet often overlooked, vector of the particulate organic matter downward export and a nutritional...

Big enough for an extra-large meal: a review on predation upon large animals by benthic cnidarians
The feeding upon large animals—even larger than the predator—by benthic cnidarians has been reported from many ecosystems but never exhaustively...
