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 …

[HTML][HTML] Evidence of microplastics from benthic jellyfish (Cassiopea xamachana) in Florida estuaries
Plastic pollution is a concern in many nearshore ecosystems, and it is critical to understand
how microplastics (plastics< 5 mm in length) affect nearshore marine biota. Here, we report …
