Oceanographic heterogeneity facilitates gelatinous zooplankton niche space and diversity

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Freshwater jellyfish in northern temperate lakes: Craspedacusta sowerbii in British Columbia, Canada

Aquatic Biology, 2021
Freshwater jellyfish species of the genus Craspedacusta purportedly originated from the Yangtze River catchment area, China, and have now been observed on all continents except Antarctica. Sightings of C.

Prey Resource Utilization by Coexistent Hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, Washington, USA [PDF]

, 2002
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

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]

, 2012
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are ...

Biomass‐to‐volume ratio as a central continuous functional trait for marine zooplankton

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2673-2687, September 2025.
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton are an important component of many ecosystems and important for ecosystem structure and carbon cycling. However, this group is generally not considered in biogeochemical models. Here we investigate the biomass‐to‐volume ratio as an underappreciated “master trait” that allows for the incorporation of a large diversity of ...

Morphology, Swimming Performance and Propulsive Mode of Six Co-occurring Hydromedusae [PDF]

, 2002
Jet propulsion, based on examples from the Hydrozoa, has served as a valuable model for swimming by medusae. However, cnidarian medusae span several taxonomic classes (collectively known as the Medusazoa) and represent a diverse array of morphologies and

Resolving abrupt frontal gradients in zooplankton community composition and marine snow fields with an autonomous Zooglider

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S1, Page S102-S120, July 2025.
Abstract An autonomous Zooglider navigated across the California Current Front into low salinity, minty waters characteristic of the California Current proper in both summers of 2019 and 2021. Diving to 400 m depth, Zooglider transited another near‐surface frontal gradient somewhat inshore. These frontal gradients were generally associated with changes
