A Wake-Based Correlate of Swimming Performance and Foraging Behavior in Seven Co-Occurring Jellyfish Species [PDF]
It is generally accepted that animal–fluid interactions have shaped the evolution of animals that swim and fly. However, the functional ecological advantages associated with those adaptations are currently difficult to predict on the basis of ...

The hydromedusae and water masses of the Indian Ocean
This analysis of distribution and abundance of species of Hydromedusae completes a report (Vannucci & Navas, 1973b) on the ecology of Indian Ocean Hydromedusae based on the zooplankton collected during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE ...

A comparative study of populations of Ectopleura crocea and Ectopleura ralphi (Hydrozoa, Tubulariidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Ectopleura crocea (L. Agassiz, 1862) and Ectopleura ralphi (Bale, 1884) are two of the nominal tubulariid species re-corded for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), presumably with wide but disjunct geographical ranges and similar morphologies.

Oceanographic heterogeneity facilitates gelatinous zooplankton niche space and diversity
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton serve diverse ecological roles in shelf food webs—from grazers to predators. However, their spatial niches are poorly resolved, especially at detailed taxonomic levels, due to conventional techniques that are unable to measure distributions at fine spatial scales.

Prey Resource Utilization by Coexistent Hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, Washington, USA [PDF]
Prey selection patterns were quantified for a sympatric group of hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, WA. Selection patterns varied between species, but were largely replicable between sample dates and resembled dietary patterns found in similar studies from
