Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Ultrastructural and immunocytochemical evidence of a colonial nervous system in hydroids
BackgroundAs the sister group to all Bilateria, representatives of the phylum Cnidaria (sea anemones, corals, jellyfishes, and hydroids) possess a recognizable and well-developed nervous system and have attracted considerable attention over the years ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

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.

Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

Diurnal variations in the vertical distribution and abundance of zooplankton in the continental shelf waters off Cochin during April 1991 [PDF]
The present study is based on zooplankton samples collected by vertical hauls from 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 m depths from a 100 m depth station in the continental shelf (09° 44' N, 75° 42*8) off Cochin for two days at three hourly interval.
