Medusan Morphospace: Phylogenetic Constraints, Biomechanical Solutions, and Ecological Consequences [PDF]
, 2008 Medusae were the earliest animals to evolve muscle-powered swimming in the seas. Although medusae have achieved diverse and prominent ecological roles throughout the world\u27s oceans, we argue that the primitive organization of cnidarian muscle tissue ...

A comparative study of populations of Ectopleura crocea and Ectopleura ralphi (Hydrozoa, Tubulariidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2014 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.

A belly full of jelly? DNA metabarcoding shows evidence for gelatinous zooplankton predation by several fish species in Greenland waters. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciThe waters of Greenland harbour a high species richness and biomass of gelatinous zooplankton (GZP); however, their role in the diet of the many fish species, including commercially exploited species, has not yet been verified.

Over one decade of invasion: the non-indigenous cladoceran Evadne anonyx G.O. Sars, 1897 in a low-salinity environment [PDF]
, 2014 Invasive species are often in focus in the non-indigenous species (NIS) research while low-abundance species receive relatively little attention. However, tracking NIS dynamics since the early stages of an invasion provides valuable information on the ...
