Phylogeny: The Continuing Classificatory Conundrum of Chaetognaths [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 The phylogenetic conundrum posed by the Chaetognatha, a cryptic phylum consisting largely of planktonic predators, is the subject of two short papers in this issue of Current Biology. These analyses go some way towards defining the phylogenetic position of the chaetognaths, which possess features apparently spanning the protostome/deuterostome divide.

Distribution of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and links to environmental conditions
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Despite their abundance in marine ecosystems, studies on siphonophores are limited. In this study, 26 species of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean were identified during multiple cruises of the R/V ISABU from 2018–2020, and various factors ...

The plankton of the tropical western Indian Ocean as a biomass indirectly supporting surface tunas (yellowfin, Thunnus albacares and skipjack, Katsuwonus pelamis) [PDF]
, 1994 The biomass of available forage is a key factor in controlling the abundance and distribution of surface tropical tunas, as they have high energy demands and live in a poor environment.

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform
