Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

Although chaetognaths inhabiting polar ecosystems are relatively well known, there are few reports on their functioning in the Antarctic coastal plankton community. The presented results provide the first comprehensive description of population structure

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

The Role of Zooplankton Predator, Chaetognaths (Sagitta Spp) in Baguala Bay Waters, Ambon Island [PDF]
Study on the chaetognaths of the Baguala bay waters, Ambon island has been done at approximately monthly intervals during January to March and May to September 1994.

Abstract Hydromedusae are often overlooked in pelagic trophic ecology compared to large scyphozoans. We investigated the diet, prey selectivity, ingestion rates, digestion times, and predation impacts of the native Liriope tetraphylla and non‐indigenous species Cnidostoma fallax and Moerisia inkermanica in a subtropical estuary of the southwestern ...

Studies on Chaetognatha of the Indian EEZ [PDF]
The Phylum Chaetognatha, the members of which are popularly known as 'arrow worms'is a holoplanklonic group found in all the oceans in the epi. mesa and bathypelagic zones.

The prevalence of endoparasites associated with chaetognath abundance in the coastal waters of the Mexican Central Pacific was studied fortnightly from November 2010 to December 2011.

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

New group of the Early Palaeozoic conodont-like fossils [PDF]
The paper is devoted to the Upper Cambrian and Tremadocian organophosphatic microfossils which were hitherto treated as conodonts and assigned mainly to the genera Coelocerodontus and Viirodus.

A Large Cambrian Chaetognath with Supernumerary Grasping Spines [PDF]
Chaetognaths (arrow worms) are a separate phylum (Chaetognatha) of small carnivorous animals, dominantly pelagic, and a major component of today's plankton [1, 2]. The position of Chaetognatha among metazoan phyla remains equivocal-neither morphological nor molecular data provide definitive evidence [3]. Originating early in the Cambrian period [4], if
