First report on Beroe ovata in an unusual mixture of ctenophores in the Great Belt (Denmark) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Between mid-December 2011 and mid-January 2012 an unusual mixture of ctenophores was observed and collected at Kerteminde harbor (Great Belt, Denmark). In addition to native zooplanktivorous species Pleurobrachia pileus (O.F. Müller, 1776) and Bolinopsis

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 ...

From barrier to gateway: Climate‐facilitated expansion of thaliaceans in the Arctic Ocean

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Thaliaceans (doliolids, pyrosomes, salps) play fundamental roles in global carbon cycling and pelagic food webs through high filtration rates and rapid reproduction. Despite their prevalence, they are virtually absent from the Arctic Ocean. This paper explores the ecological, physiological, and historical factors that may have contributed to ...

The cause of colouration in the ctenophore Beroë cucumis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2005
Ctenophores are famed for the spectacular iridescence of their comb-rows, but the cause of this bright colouration has never been found. The colour of any given part of a ctenophore comb-row changes as the combs in that region beat and, thus, the angle between each comb and an observer changes.

Multigenerational laboratory culture of pelagic ctenophores and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in the lobate Mnemiopsis leidyi

open access: yes, 2022
Despite long-standing experimental interest in ctenophores due to their unique biology, ecological influence and evolutionary status, previous work has largely been constrained by the periodic seasonal availability of wild-caught animals and difficulty ...

Characterisation of large zooplankton sampled with two different gears during midwinter in Rijpfjorden, Svalbard

open access: yesPolish Polar Research, 2017
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 ...

Accounting for Intra‐ and Intergenomic Sequence Variation in Reference Barcodes Improves eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Assessment

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

A Dynamic Foraging Habitat Distribution Estimate for Green Turtles in the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We develop telemetry‐based habitat models with boosted regression trees to identify the environmental characteristics underpinning foraging habitat suitability for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region. We then predict potentially suitable foraging areas for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region.

Environmental DNA Reveals Diverse and Depth‐Stratified Biodiversity in East Indian Ocean Submarine Canyons

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...
