Effects of crude oil exposure on bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and survival of adult and larval stages of gelatinous zooplankton. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Gelatinous zooplankton play an important role in marine food webs both as major consumers of metazooplankton and as prey of apex predators (e.g., tuna, sunfish, sea turtles).

Disentangling the counteracting effects of water content and carbon mass on zooplankton growth [PDF]

, 2016
Zooplankton vary widely in carbon percentage (carbon mass as a percentage of wet mass), but are often described as either gelatinous or non-gelatinous. Here we update datasets of carbon percentage and growth rate to investigate whether carbon percentage ...

Gelatinous versus non-gelatinous zooplankton: their value as food for planktivorous coral reef fishes

Coral Reefs, 2023
AbstractCoral reefs are highly productive ecosystems, in part due to the productivity of planktivorous fishes. The planktivorous fish community contains two distinct groups which target either the gelatinous or the non-gelatinous fractions of the incoming zooplankton.

Fewer Copepods, Fewer Anchovies, and More Jellyfish: How Does Hypoxia Impact the Chesapeake Bay Zooplankton Community?

Diversity, 2020
To understand dissolved oxygen deficiency in Chesapeake Bay and its direct impact on zooplankton and planktivorous fish communities, six research cruises were conducted at two sites in the Chesapeake Bay from spring to autumn in 2010 and 2011 ...

Dark plumes of glacial meltwater affect vertical distribution of zooplankton in the Arctic

Scientific Reports, 2022
In polar regions, the release of glacial meltwater resulting in turbid plumes is expected to transform coastal waters with numerous consequences on the marine ecosystem.

Gelatinous Carbon Impacts Benthic Megafaunal Communities in a Continental Margin

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Post-collapse of seasonal blooms of gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Thaliacea) sinking carcasses transports labile carbon (jelly-C) to benthic continental margins and the deep sea.

Passive Energy Recapture in Jellyfish Contributes to Propulsive Advantage over other Metazoans [PDF]

, 2013
Gelatinous zooplankton populations are well known for their ability to take over perturbed ecosystems. The ability of these animals to outcompete and functionally replace fish that exhibit an effective visual predatory mode is counterintuitive because ...

Discovery, prevalence, and persistence of novel circular single-stranded DNA viruses in the ctenophores Mnemiopsis leidyi and Beroe ovata

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Gelatinous zooplankton, such as ctenophores and jellyfish, are important components of marine and brackish ecosystems and play critical roles in aquatic biogeochemistry.

Pelagic population dynamics of Aurelia sp in French Mediterranean lagoons [PDF]

, 2015
The pelagic dynamics of the cosmopolitan scyphozoan Aurelia sp. was investigated in three French Mediterranean lagoons, Thau, Berre and Bages-Sigean, which harbour resident populations.

Freshwater hydrozoan blooms alter activity and behaviour of territorial cichlids in Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton can represent dramatic environmental perturbations for aquatic ecosystems. Yet, we still know little about how blooms impact fitness-related behaviours of fish caught within their areas of effect, especially for ...
