Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton can be present in high biomass and taxonomic diversity planktonic oceanic food webs, yet the trophic structuring importance of this “jelly web” remain incompletely understood. To address knowledge gap, we provide a holistic characterization jelly web eastern tropical Atlantic, based on δ 13 C 15 N stable isotope analysis unique gelatinous sample set. The covered most isotopic niche space entire web, spanning > 3 levels, ranging from herbivores (e.g.,...
Lindaspio polybranchiata, a member of the Spionidae family, has been reported at Lingshui Cold Seep, where it formed dense population around this nascent methane vent. We sequenced and assembled genome L. polybranchiata performed comparative genomic analyses to investigate genetic basis adaptation deep sea. Supporting this, transcriptomic fatty acid data further corroborate our findings. report first deep-sea spionid, polybranchiata. Over long-term adaptive evolution, genes associated with...
To investigate the community structure and spatial distribution characteristics of zooplankton during summer monsoon in South China Sea, this study analyzed samples collected from May to June 2021, focusing on species composition, abundance, wet weight biomass. A total 353 species/taxa were identified, with copepods being most abundant group (167 species), followed by cnidarians (32 species) planktonic larvae (30 species/taxa). In total, 15 dominant all which classified as copepods, Oithona...
Jellyfish population play an important role in aquatic food chains, and many animals predate on this 'mostly water containing' organisms. However, what gelativores predators could gain from their prey is still poorly understood. This study provides insight into the nutritional value of moon jelly (Aurelia aurita) by means its fatty acid (FA) composition, while investigating seasonal variability differences between free-swimming life stages. A biweekly sampling was carried out a temperate...
Aurelia coerulea , a type of scyphozoan jellyfish, has massively appeared in the coastal waters China recent years and caused great damage, but asexual reproduction A. polyp predicted by local temperature could not correspond well to field abundance jellyfish summer. To understand influence winter spring conditions on reproductive process provide basis for population prediction, polyps, originally reared from planula larvae medusae collected Jiaozhou Bay (120.2°E, 36.1°N), were investigated...
Many marine invertebrates including ctenophores are capable of extensive body regeneration when injured. However, as for the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, there is a constant subportion individuals not undergoing whole but forming functionally stable half-animals instead. Yet, driving factors this phenomenon have been addressed so far. This study sheds new light on how differences in food availability affect self-repair choice and success cydippid larvae M. leidyi. As expected, high...
Understanding the life history strategy of organisms is key to predicting their population dynamics. The scyphozoan jellyfish has displayed an increasing trend in recent decades, yet its not fully understood. To interpret reproduction from evolutionary ecology perspective, we dissected 10 asexual generations Aurelia coerulea polyps investigate relationships between transgenerational effects on budding and strobilation. Our results reveal that a polyp’s average rate declined 32.82% through...
The impacts of biochemicals driving food web processes are under investigation for just the last few decades. In addition, as jellyfish drawing increasing attentions because their mass developments and potential capacity structures energy flow by 'top-down' 'bottom-up' controls. We here show that provision with biochemical complex thiamin (vitamin B1) to common phytoplankton Rhodomonas baltica altered its fatty acid (FA) pattern towards 3-highly-unsaturated FAs (3-HUFA) this was further...
Physical and topographic characteristics can structure pelagic habitats affect the plankton community composition. For example, oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are expected to lead a habitat compression for species with high demand, while upwelling of nutrient-rich deep water at seamounts locally increase productivity, especially in oligotrophic oceanic waters. Here we investigate response gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) assemblage biomass differing conditions seamount Eastern Tropical North...
Abstract Fatty acids (FAs) are vital biomolecules crucial for determining food quality higher trophic levels. To investigate FA transfer and turnover time in predators, we conducted a diet switch experiment using jellyfish polyps. These polyps were fed sources including Artemia sinica nauplii FA‐manipulated copepod Pseudodiaptomus annandalei , maintained on distinct algal diets with varied compositions. Our findings reveal that copepods may have strong potential to synthesize long‐chain...
