Despite the diversity and oftentimes large biomass of jellyfish in marine systems, their
ecological role remains poorly understood. We here provide the first systematic review of …

The abundant pelagic tunicate Salpa thompsoni is a major grazer in the Southern Ocean
(SO) with high ingestion rates, fast-sinking faecal pellets, and the potential to rapidly grow …

The common jellyfish Aurelia spp. often appears in large numbers in coastal regions around
the world, having a considerable predation impact on zooplankton. To better understand …

Jellyfish blooms may be important bioindicators for marine ecosystem degradation,
including the accumulation of microplastics in pelagic food webs. Here we show growth …

Filter-feeding invertebrates are found in almost all of the animal classes that are represented
in the sea, where they are the necessary links between suspended food particles …

The increasing global demand for seafood, coupled with the limitations of current fish stocks
and aquaculture practices, requires the development of sustainable aquaculture solutions …

Scyphozoan medusae are critical components of marine ecosystems; however, our
knowledge on their population dynamics and life history needed to understand their role on …

Carnivorous gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) can be very abundant in marine ecosystems
around the globe and exert considerable predation pressures on micro-to …

According to a recently presented bioenergetic model for the weight-specific growth rate of
jellyfish, Aurelia aurita, fed brine shrimp, Artemia salina, the specific growth will remain high …

The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) to exotic habitats can have tremendous
impacts on native biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem services. One globally distributed …
