Gelatinous zooplankton‐mediated carbon flows in the global oceans: a data‐driven modeling study
Among marine organisms, gelatinous zooplankton (GZ; cnidarians, ctenophores, and
pelagic tunicates) are unique in their energetic efficiency, as the gelatinous body plan allows …

Global ecological and biogeochemical impacts of pelagic tunicates
The pelagic tunicates, gelatinous zooplankton that include salps, doliolids, and
appendicularians, are filter feeding grazers thought to produce a significant amount of …

[HTML][HTML] Role of jellyfish in the plankton ecosystem revealed using a global ocean biogeochemical model
Jellyfish are increasingly recognised as important components of the marine ecosystem, yet
their specific role is poorly defined compared to that of other zooplankton groups. This paper …

Linking human well‐being and jellyfish: ecosystem services, impacts, and societal responses
Jellyfish are usually perceived as harmful to humans and are seen as “pests”. This negative
perception has hindered knowledge regarding their value in terms of ecosystem services. As …

Mammoth grazers on the ocean's minuteness: a review of selective feeding using mucous meshes
Mucous-mesh grazers (pelagic tunicates and thecosome pteropods) are common in oceanic
waters and efficiently capture, consume and repackage particles many orders of magnitude …

Rapid scavenging of jellyfish carcasses reveals the importance of gelatinous material to deep-sea food webs
Jellyfish blooms are common in many oceans, and anthropogenic changes appear to have
increased their magnitude in some regions. Although mass falls of jellyfish carcasses have …
