Salp blooms drive strong increases in passive carbon export in the Southern Ocean

Nature Communications, 2023
Gelatinous bloom-forming zooplankton—salps—alter microbial communities and quintuple the flux of sinking particles from the surface to the deep, strongly enhancing the ability of the ocean to sequester CO2.

Under-ice observations by trawls and multi-frequency acoustics in the Central Arctic Ocean reveals abundance and composition of pelagic fauna

Scientific Reports, 2023
The rapid ongoing changes in the Central Arctic Ocean call for baseline information on the pelagic fauna. However, sampling for motile organisms which easily escape vertically towed nets is challenging.

Global Drivers of Phytoplankton Phenology Trends. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Observations and a global biogeochemical model were used to examine recent shifts in phytoplankton phenology at the global scale. Sea surface temperature trends emerge as the strongest predictor of these changes, relative to the other drivers considered, and are associated with earlier initiation, later termination, and longer growing periods ...

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 ...

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.

DNA metabarcoding reveals the importance of gelatinous zooplankton in the diet of Pandalus borealis, a keystone species in the Arctic [PDF]

, 2021
Information about the dietary composition of a species is crucial to understanding their position and role in the food web. Increasingly, molecular approaches such as DNA metabarcoding are used in studying trophic relationships, not least because they ...

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.
