Seasonal variability of gelatinous zooplankton during an anomalously warm year at Cabo Pulmo National Park, Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The seasonal variability of gelatinous zooplankton (siphonophores, medusae, and thaliaceans) abundance was investigated at Cabo Pulmo National Park (CPNP) from weekly zooplankton samples collected throughout 2014.

Organic matter and elemental composition of gelatinous and soft-bodied zooplankton in the Northeast Pacific

open access: yes, 2021
Gelatinous and soft-bodied zooplankton (GZ) have long been considered to have low energetic value and are insufficient to sustain higher trophic levels. However, the nutritional composition of GZ is often poorly known for entire groups, ignoring species-,

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 945-964, June 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Changes in spatial distribution of gelatinous zooplankton: causes and consequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
During the day, changes in the spatial distributions of organisms in the water column occur repeatedly, especially in diurnal vertical migrations, which affect abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems.

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the tropical and the subtropical Atlantic representative of different water bodies (NE Brazil shelf,

Bacterial degradation of ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi organic matter

open access: yesmSystems
Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton, an important source of protein-rich biomass in coastal waters, often collapse rapidly, releasing large amounts of labile detrital organic matter (OM) into the surrounding water.

The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.

Biological characterization of a mid‐water salinity maximum intrusion over the Northeast US Shelf

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Salinity maximum intrusions, subsurface layers of anomalously salty and warm continental slope water moving onto the continental shelf along the thermocline, are recurring features over the Northeast US Shelf and represent an important cross‐shelf exchange mechanism.

Temporal dynamics of mesopelagic fishes within a mesoscale eddy: A Lagrangian perspective

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies are physically dynamic environments, yet biological responses within them are often treated as static, with eddy polarity (anticyclones vs. cyclones) serving as the dominant conceptual framework. Temporal dynamics of animals within eddies—particularly at mid‐trophic levels—remain largely unresolved.

The Large Jellyfish Rhizostoma luteum as Sustainable a Resource for Antioxidant Properties, Nutraceutical Value and Biomedical Applications

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2018
Jellyfish is a compartment in the marine food web that often achieves high increases of biomass and that it is starting to be explored for several human potential uses. In this paper, a recently rediscovered large jellyfish, Rhizostoma luteum, is studied
