The microbiome of the pelagic tunicate <i>Dolioletta gegenbauri</i>: A potential link between the grazing and microbial food web Open
Bloom‐forming gelatinous zooplankton occur circumglobally and significantly influence the structure of pelagic marine food webs and biogeochemical cycling through interactions with microbial communities. During bloom conditions especially,…

The microbiome of the pelagic tunicate Dolioletta gegenbauri: a potential link between the grazing and microbial food web Open
Doliolids often form massive blooms during upwelling conditions in sub-tropical shelves. However, their trophic role, including their nutritious fecal pellets, in pelagic marine food webs remains poorly investigated. In this study, we perf…

Application of species-specific primers to estimate the <i>in situ</i> diet of <i>Bythotrephes</i> [Cladocera, Onychopoda] in its native European range via molecular gut content analysis Open
The study of invasive species often focuses on regions of recent introduction rather than native habitats. Understanding an invasive species in its natural environment, however, can provide important insights regarding the long-term outcom…

Selective feeding and linkages to the microbial food web by the doliolid<i>Dolioletta gegenbauri</i> Open
Gelatinous zooplankton play a crucial role in pelagic marine food webs, however, due to methodological challenges and persistent misconceptions of their importance, the trophic role of gelatinous zooplankton remains poorly investigated. Th…

Causes, Diagnostics, and Distribution of an Ongoing Penaeid Shrimp Black Gill Epidemic in the U.S. South Atlantic Bight Open
Penaeid shrimp including Litopenaeus setiferus (white shrimp), Farfantepenaeus aztecus (brown shrimp), and Farfantepenaeus duorarum (pink shrimp) support one of the most valuable commercial fisheries in the U.S. Southeast Atlantic. Since t…
