Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

A semi-automated image analysis procedure for in situ plankton imaging systems. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Plankton imaging systems are capable of providing fine-scale observations that enhance our understanding of key physical and biological processes. However, processing the large volumes of data collected by imaging systems remains a major obstacle for ...

Environmental drivers and ecological implications of a ctenophore swarm: a case study from the Bay of Bengal, northern Indian Ocean

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2023
Ctenophores are quick responders to coastal environmental changes and play a crucial role in marine food web dynamics. We report the environmental drivers of a ctenophore swarm (Pleurobrachia spp.) and associated ecological changes in estuarine and ...

Trait-based approaches to zooplankton communities [PDF]

, 2013
Zooplankton are major primary consumers and predators in most aquatic ecosystems. They exhibit tremendous diversity of traits, ecological strategies and, consequently, impacts on other trophic levels and the cycling of materials and energy.

A comparison of carbon-specific respiration rates in gelatinous and non-gelatinous zooplankton: A search for general rules in zooplankton metabolism [PDF]

Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1992
Using 470 data from the literature the dry weight-specific respiration rates of gelatinous zooplankton (cnidarians, ctenophores and salps) and non-gelatinous zooplankton (mainly crustacea) were converted to carbon-specific values. The resulting carbon-specific respiration rates showed no significant differences between the two groups of zooplankton ...

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, EarlyView.
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 ...

The rising swarms of jellyfish in Indian waters: the environmental drivers, ecological, and socio-economic impacts

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
A four-decade data of jellyfish aggregation from 1980 to 2020 were taken to discern whether there has been an actual rise in jellyfish swarm in Indian coastal and estuarine waters.

Using Eye Lens Stable Isotopes to Identify the Rearing Origin of Fall Age‐0 Walleye (Sander vitreus)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isotope values in fish eye lenses may be useful in differentiating rearing origins. We compared eye lens isotopic values of fall fingerling age‐0 walleye (Sander vitreus) reared in a hatchery pond, a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), and a natural lake. Using 10 fish per rearing source, we delaminated layers from one eye lens per fish to
