Ocean acidification effects on mesozooplankton community development: Results from a long-term mesocosm experiment. [PDF]
Ocean acidification may affect zooplankton directly by decreasing in pH, as well as indirectly via trophic pathways, where changes in carbon availability or pH effects on primary producers may cascade up the food web thereby altering ecosystem ...

Comparative Analysis of Convergent Jellyfish Eyes Reveals Extensive Differences in Expression of Vision-Related Genes. [PDF]
Eyes have evolved in many different lineages, including several times within jellyfish, yet the relative contributions of shared and lineage‐specific genes to convergent eyes are not known. We find that three long‐diverged species of jellyfish have mostly divergent patterns of gene expression in their eye‐bearing tissues, suggesting a major role for ...

Planktonic associations between medusae (classes Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa) and epifaunal crustaceans [PDF]
Jellyfish are known to carry various epibionts, including many of the subphylum Crustacea. However, the associations between gelatinous zooplankton and other invertebrates have been chronically overlooked.
