Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

Presence data of gelatinous zooplankton in the Polar Night in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, in 2022

, 2023
During the KOP183 project Arctic jellyfish in the Polar Night at the AWIPEV station in January-February 2022, we assessed the Polar Night gelatinous zooplankton community and their overwintering strategies.

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1443-1460, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Lepocreadiidae (Trematoda) associated with gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidaria and Ctenophora) and fishes in Australian and Japanese waters

We examined gelatinous zooplankton from off eastern Australia for lepocreadiid trematode metacercariae. From 221 specimens of 17 species of cnidarian medusae and 218 specimens of four species of ctenophores, infections were found in seven cnidarian and ...

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 763-781, May 2026.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...

Influence of environmental parameters on habitat preference of gelatinous zooplankton in various coastal ecosystems, the Straits of Malacca

, 2019
This study examined spatial distribution patterns of gelatinous zooplankton in three coastal areas, namely Matang mangrove area (managed mangrove area, MMA), Kuala Selangor coastal waters (reclaimed mangrove area, RMA) and Port Dickson coastal waters (a ...

Small jellyfish, large consequences: The overlooked predatory role of hydromedusae in subtropical estuarine ecosystems

Limnology 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

Limnology 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 ...

Ecological and acoustic investigations of jellyfish (Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa)

, 2008
As the biomass of jellyfish (medusae of the Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa) has risen in numerous locations worldwide, awareness of their potential to exert a controlling influence on marine ecosystems and hinder the recruitment of fish stocks has increased ...
