Potential Roles of Biotic Factors in Regulating Zooplankton Community Dynamics in Jakarta Bay Shallow Water Coastal Ecosystem [PDF]
The dynamics in zooplankton abundance were regulated by changes in water physical-chemical parameters and interaction with biotic factors. In this research we examined the relationship between zooplankton community dynamic and important biotic factors ...

Food web modifications shifted the functional structure of zooplankton
Abstract The North Sea has been undergoing long‐term transformations driven by shifts in human activities and climate change, which have jointly reshaped the composition of marine communities. Despite existing studies, the functional mechanisms driving community changes remain poorly understood.

Omnivory by the Small Cosmopolitan Hydromedusa Aglaura Hemistoma [PDF]
We investigated the feeding of the small hydromedusa, Aglaura hemistoma (bell diameter \u3c 4 mm), to determine if it occupies a trophic position similar to that of large medusae.

Winter Diets of Pacific Salmon in the North Pacific
ABSTRACT The winter feeding ecology of Pacific salmon and Steelhead trout in the North Pacific Ocean was investigated, with a focus on species‐specific diets and interannual and spatial variability in diet composition. We used results from the 2022 International Year of the Salmon Pan‐Pacific Expedition to examine diet composition across the North ...

Careful with understudied phyla: The case of chaetognath
Background A recent study by Barthélémy et al. described a set of ribosomal protein (RP) genes extracted from a collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of the chaetognath (arrow worm) Spadella cephaloptera.

Zooplankton population in the polluted environment of Thana Creek and Bombay Harbour [PDF]
Hydrographical and biological parameters of Thana Creek and Bombay Harbour were studied to assess the prevailing water quality. Zooplankton samples were collected from various stations during January 1975 to July 1975.

Predation Strategies of the Portuguese Man‐of‐War Physalia physalis
ABSTRACT The Portuguese man‐of‐war Physalia physalis is widely known for causing poisoning on human beings. Physalia physalis is mostly described as a predator of fish eggs and larvae. Here, we report for the first time that large fish can also be preyed by P. physalis.

Transitions in the morphological features, habitat use, and diet of young-of-the-year goosefish (Lophius americanus) [PDF]
This study was designed to improve our understanding of transitions in the early life history and the distribution, habitat use, and diets for young-of-the-year (YOY) goosefish (Lophius americanus) and, as a result, their role in northeastern U.S ...

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major
