Multigene phylogeny of the scyphozoan jellyfish family Pelagiidae reveals that the common U.S. Atlantic sea nettle comprises two distinct species (Chrysaora quinquecirrha and C. chesapeakei) [PDF]
Background Species of the scyphozoan family Pelagiidae (e.g., Pelagia noctiluca, Chrysaora quinquecirrha) are well-known for impacting fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism, especially for the painful sting they can inflict on swimmers. However, historical

Global Variation in Zooplankton Niche Divergence Across Ocean Basins
We explored the evidence of niche divergence between population for marine zooplankton globally. We found 44% of all population comparisons show niche divergence. Niche divergence varied across temperature and bathymetry gradients for copepods. ABSTRACT Modelling responses to climate change assumes zooplankton populations remain similar over time with ...

Deepwater Sharks at Their Northern Limits—Distribution, Diet and Trophic Relations
ABSTRACT Deepwater areas and continental slope regions south and west off Iceland are characterized by a relatively high species diversity and abundance of sharks that likely play a critical ecological role within this ecosystem. The study investigates trophic ecology of the sharks employing stomach content analysis and stable isotope analysis of ...

Back with a bang – an unexpected massive bloom of Cassiopea andromeda (Forskaal, 1775) in the Maltese Islands, nine years after its first appearance [PDF]
The upside-down jellyfish—Cassiopea andromeda (Forsskål, 1775)—is considered an established alien within the eastern Mediterranean Sea, but the species exhibits a highly sporadic occurrence further west within the basin.

Hydrozoa e Scyphozoa existentes no Instituto Oceanográfico II [PDF]
In this paper are given distributional records of species already known to frequent brazilian waters. Full description and figures are given of speoies not hitherto known from this coast. Of the mentioned 2O speoies of hydroids, 5 are new for brazilian waters (Eudendrium carneun, E.capillare.

ABSTRACT In deep‐pelagic ecosystems, the trophic ecology of micronektonic species (such as fish, jellyfish, krill, shrimps, and cephalopods) is largely overlooked, with most research focusing almost exclusively on fish. However, like fish, invertebrate organisms play key roles in food webs, both as consumers and as predators.
