Temporal patterns of gelatinous zooplankton distribution and environmental drivers in the south-western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 This study aims to investigate the distribution of gelatinous zooplankton in relation to environmental parameters along the coastal regions of Algeria in the south-western Mediterranean Sea. A total of 48 species were recorded from nine sampling stations

Biodiversity and frequency of occurrence of jellyfish (cnidaria) in Al Hoceima Bay (North coast of Morocco, Alboran Sea) [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Jellyfish are the best-known group of gelatinous zooplankton; they refer to organisms from the phylum Cnidaria, including animals with cnidocytes (stinging cells).

Gelatinous zooplankton off the Northeast Greenland coast
Progress in Oceanography, 2023 Gelatinous zooplankton are useful indicators of climate-driven shifts in the ocean; hence our study goal was to determine their diversity and distribution in the poorly investigated area of the Northeast Greenland shelf and adjacent waters. Zooplankton samples were collected vertically using a MultiNet in August and September 2017, at 9 stations along ...

Gelatinous zooplankton versus Algerian environmental factors
, 2022 Abstract Factors governing gelatinous zooplankton distributions and dispersal have long interested pelagic ecologists. The objective of the present study was to investigate the distribution of gelatinous zooplankton in relation to environmental parameters of coastal Algeria (Southwestern Mediterranean Sea).

Resource requirements of the Pacific leatherback turtle population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Pacific population of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) has drastically declined in the last 25 years. This decline has been linked to incidental capture by fisheries, egg and meat harvesting, and recently, to climate variability and ...

Size‐based changes in trophic ecology and nutritional quality of moon jellyfish (Aurelia labiata)
Ecosphere, 2023 Despite their seemingly watery constitution, jellyfish are eaten by a diverse range of predators. However, while the role of jellyfish in marine food webs is gaining attention, the nutritional value of these gelatinous organisms and how it varies remain ...

Reef manta rays forage on tidally driven, high density zooplankton patches in Hanifaru Bay, Maldives [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Manta rays forage for zooplankton in tropical and subtropical marine environments, which are generally nutrient-poor. Feeding often occurs at predictable locations where these large, mobile cartilaginous fishes congregate to exploit ephemeral ...

Gelatinous Zooplankton in the Surface Layers of the Coastal Central Red Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Characterizations of gelatinous zooplankton communities are necessary for an improved understanding of the ecological and temporal dynamics of such communities and their composing taxa. Yet, studies on gelatinous zooplankton communities are scarce in the

Zooplankton Community Response to Seasonal Hypoxia: A Test of Three Hypotheses
Diversity, 2020 Several hypotheses of how zooplankton communities respond to coastal hypoxia have been put forward in the literature over the past few decades. We explored three of those that are focused on how zooplankton composition or biomass is affected by seasonal ...

Not all jellyfish are equal: isotopic evidence for inter- and intraspecific variation in jellyfish trophic ecology [PDF]
, 2015 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.
