Salps are barrel-shaped, gelatinous zooplankton that regularly form large swarms. They
have historically been ignored because they are difficult to sample and their gelatinous body …

Adult stem cells (ASCs) in vertebrates and model invertebrates (eg Drosophila
melanogaster) are typically long‐lived, lineage‐restricted, clonogenic and quiescent cells …

Large, fast-sinking carcasses (food-falls) are an important source of nutrition to deep-sea
benthic communities. In 2007 and 2009, mass depositions of the salp Thetys vagina were …

The spatial distribution, abundance, and size variability of two pelagic tunicate species,
Thetys vagina and Pyrosoma atlanticum, were examined from midwater trawl surveys to …

The distribution and abundance of thaliaceans were studied in relation to physical and
biological variables during summer and winter in the northwest continental shelf of South …

Salps provide an important mechanism for energy transfer from primary producers to higher-
order consumers and they can also make a significant contribution to biogeochemical …

Atypical high abundances of two salp species occurred in the coastal Gulf of Alaska during
2011. Salpa aspera dominated numerically in aggregate form during spring, and became …

Salps are gelatinous filter-feeders that can intermittently contribute significantly to the cycling
of organic matter in the world's oceans. We estimated the grazing impact of salp …
