Oceanographic heterogeneity facilitates gelatinous zooplankton niche space and diversity
Limnology and Oceanography LettersGelatinous zooplankton serve diverse ecological roles in shelf food webs—from grazers to predators. However, their spatial niches are poorly resolved, especially at detailed taxonomic levels, due to conventional techniques that are unable to measure ...

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]
BioScience, 2012 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 ...

Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27°-56° S). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27° - 56° S), remain understudied in terms of ...

Effects of typhoons on gelatinous carnivore zooplankton off Northern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2012 We examine the effect of typhoons, as potential drivers of nutrient pulse events, on gelatinous carnivore zooplankton. The period investigated spanned from 2007 to 2010, where seasonal abundance and taxonomic composition of the gelatinous zooplankton ...

Planktonic associations between medusae (classes Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa) and epifaunal crustaceans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Jellyfish are known to carry various epibionts, including many of the subphylum Crustacea. However, the associations between gelatinous zooplankton and other invertebrates have been chronically overlooked.

Distribution of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and links to environmental conditions
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Despite their abundance in marine ecosystems, studies on siphonophores are limited. In this study, 26 species of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean were identified during multiple cruises of the R/V ISABU from 2018–2020, and various factors ...
