Palaeoscolecids from the early Cambrian Guanshan biota, Yunnan Province, China
Abstract Palaeoscolecidomorphs (Palaeoscolecida and Cricocosmiidae) are widespread early Palaeozoic worms crucial to understanding the early evolution of Ecdysozoa. They are well known from the early–middle Cambrian of the Yangtze Platform of South China, but research has disproportionately focused on the well‐known Cambrian Stage 3 Chengjiang biota of

Abstract Although gelatinous zooplankton are key members of marine ecosystems and food webs, their trophic ecology is poorly described across the deep pelagic. We used stable carbon (bulk tissue) and nitrogen (bulk tissue and amino acid) isotope analysis to estimate the trophic positions (TPs) of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths ...

Comparative feeding behavior of planktonic ctenophores [PDF]
The phylum Ctenophora (known as comb jellies) consists of gelatinous marine carnivores found from the surface to several thousand meters depth. Their morphology can be simple or complex, ranging from a sac-like shape with no tentacles to large lobed forms with sinuous "auricles," papillae, and two different kinds of tentacles. This diversity appears to

Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

During a midwinter cruise north of 80°N to Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, the composition and vertical distribution of the zooplankton community were studied using two different samplers 1) a vertically hauled multiple plankton sampler (MPS; mouth area 0.25 m2 ...

Planktonic larval stages—an adaptation to lower predation rates in the pelagic environment?
Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...

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 ...

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.
