Long-term changes in the planktonic cnidarian community in a mesoscale area of the NW Mediterranean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In the present work, possible long-term changes in the planktonic cnidarian community were investigated by analyzing (1) species and community spatial distribution patterns, (2) variations in abundance and (3) changes in species richness during three ...

Omnivory by the small cosmopolitan hydromedusa Aglaura hemistoma [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2005 We investigated the feeding of the small hydromedusa, Aglaura hemistoma(bell diameter , 4 mm), to determine if it occupies a trophic position similar to that of large medusae. Feeding was examined using gut-content analysis of preserved and unpreserved medusae and by analyzing prey-capture events using microvideographic techniques.

Diel Vertical Dynamics of Gelatinous Zooplankton (Cnidaria, Ctenophora and Thaliacea) in a Subtropical Stratified Ecosystem (South Brazilian Bight). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The diel vertical dynamics of gelatinous zooplankton in physically stratified conditions over the 100-m isobath (~110 km offshore) in the South Brazilian Bight (26°45'S; 47°33'W) and the relationship to hydrography and food availability were analyzed by ...

Segregated Distribution of <i>Liriope tetraphylla</i>, <i>Aglaura hemistoma</i> and <i>Nausithoe punctata</i> (Cnidaria) in the Southern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Open Journal of Ecology, 2016 In order to study the segregated distribution of the three most abundant jellyfish species in the southern Gulf of Mexico, a total of 85 stations were sampled during an oceanographic cruise from 19 May to 18 June 2006. Trawling took place from surface to

High spatial heterogeneity of two planktonic cnidarian species related to the variability of a shelf-slope front at short time scales [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2016 We investigated the variability in the mesoscale distribution of the siphonophore Muggiaea atlantica and the hydromedusa Aglaura hemistoma in relation to the rapid spatial oscillations of the shelf-slope front off the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 10, Page 2152-2170, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Functional trait‐based approach links the zooplankton community to the marine ecosystem functioning. It provides a comprehensive insight into the diversity of zooplankton ecological strategies but has rarely been used to characterize the zooplankton community in estuarine ecosystem.

Estructura poblacional del zooplancton gelatinoso en el mar ecuatoriano
Revista Científica de Ciencias Naturales y Ambientales, 2019 El presente estudio analiza la composición y distribución del zooplancton gelatinoso en el mar ecuatoriano desde Julio 2017 hasta Abril 2018. Se dividió el perfil costero en dos zonas: la ZI abarcó la provincia de Esmeraldas hasta la parte norte de la ...
