Extreme Mitogenomic Variation Without Cryptic Speciation in Chaetognaths
The extent of within-species genetic variation across the diversity of animal life is a fundamental but largely unexplored problem in ecology and evolution.

Abundance, condition, and diet of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) in the Aleutian Islands [PDF]
T he relative value of pelagic habitat for three size classes of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) was investigated by comparing their abundance and condition in two areas of the Aleutian Islands. Diet, zooplankton biomass, and water column

Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Metabarcoding and biomass quantification reveal seasonal parasite associations in copepods
Abstract Parasites are important members of ecosystems, and recent metabarcoding efforts have revealed an abundance of microbial eukaryotic parasites in copepods. However, a putative linkage to host community biomass and composition has not been addressed. We performed zooplankton tows monthly for 2 yr at five stations in the Oslofjord, Norway.

Latitudinal distribution of chaetognaths in winter along the 137°E meridian in the Philippine Sea
Latitudinal distributions of pelagic chaetognaths from 3–34°N along the 137°E meridian in the Philippine Sea in winter from 1967 to 1995 were studied using the data of oceanographic observations by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Occurrence of small microplastics in the salp Salpa fusiformis in the Kuroshio region
Abstract We investigated the occurrence pattern of Salpa fusiformis, broad‐spectrum filter‐feeding zooplankton that intercept small particles around the Kuroshio Current, off southern Japan and inferred in situ distribution of near‐surface small microplastics (plastic particles < 330 μm) based on their gut contents.

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
