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.

Neuropeptides are ancient neuronal signaling molecules that have diversified across Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) and its sister group Bilateria (e.g., vertebrates, insects, and worms).

On the presence of the Ponto-Caspian hydrozoan Cordylophora caspia (Pallas, 1771) in an Iberian estuary: highlights on the introduction vectors and invasion routes [PDF]
Several non-native invertebrate and vertebrate species have been detected in the Guadiana Estuary (SW-Iberian Peninsula, Europe) during the 21st century.

Iron and nitrogen stress controls summertime biogeochemistry in the high‐latitude North Atlantic
Abstract High‐latitude North Atlantic currents (60°–70°N) exhibit contrasting nutrient stoichiometries, but the spatial extent of post‐spring bloom iron (Fe) and nitrogen (N) stress on phytoplankton around Iceland remains poorly constrained. Here we pair in situ biogeochemical characteristics with 72 h Fe and N addition experiments in the East ...

ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are ...

Abstract Endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae can form mutualisms with a diverse array of host invertebrates, constituting a widespread and ecologically important family. While those associated with reef‐building corals (order Scleractinia) have received considerable research attention, the diversity and ecology of zooxanthellae ...

Not all jellyfish are equal: isotopic evidence for inter- and intraspecific variation in jellyfish trophic ecology [PDF]
Jellyfish are highly topical within studies of pelagic food-webs and there is a growing realisation that their role is more complex than once thought.
