Abstract The effects of environmental change on zooplankton communities, and more broadly, pelagic ecosystems are difficult to predict due to the high diversity of ecological strategies and complex interspecific interactions within the zooplankton. Trait‐based approaches can define zooplankton functional groups with distinct responses to environmental ...

Integrating siphonophores into marine food‐web ecology
Abstract Siphonophores are a clade of understudied colonial hydrozoans (Cnidaria) that are abundant predators in oceanic ecosystems, with species present across the water column. We (1) synthesize current knowledge about siphonophore trophic ecology and predator–prey interactions, (2) analyze siphonophore‐prey networks to compare food‐web topology ...

Hydrozoans, scyphozoans, larvaceans and ctenophores observed in situ at hadal depths
Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Larvacea (Appendicularia) and Ctenophora are not typically associated with hadal communities. Here, we report observations of these groups based on 136 benthic camera lander deployments that spanned all five oceans, encompassing 14

ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

In this study, we implement eDNA metabarcoding to investigate patterns of pelagic diversity in the European Arctic. We successfully detected a wide range of taxa belonging to the marine metazoan and gelatinous zooplankton communities. We demonstrate vertical patterns of diversity as well as relationships between taxa and water mass indicators such as ...

An uncrewed surface vessel and an automated eDNA sample collection device were used to obtain eDNA samples over a 4200‐km, 29‐day voyage in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. The results of the study revealed important technical considerations for acquiring samples autonomously and highlight how these platforms can increase the accessibility of obtaining

The composition and abundance distribution of the Medusae community of the Algerian coast (between 2°E to 7°E) were investigated during autumn 2014. Zooplankton sampling was performed in the upper layer (0-100 m) at 14 stations.
