Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
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,

Species composition, seasonal abundance and population structure of chaetognaths in Admiralty Bay (Antarctic)

open access: yesPolish Polar Research, 2016
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

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1443-1460, May 2026.
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.

Small jellyfish, large consequences: The overlooked predatory role of hydromedusae in subtropical estuarine ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2000
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.

Monthly Occurrence of Endoparasites of Chaetognaths in a Coastal System of the Mexican Central Pacific

open access: yesParasitologia
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

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
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]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2015
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]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
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
