This study experimentally examines Prochlorococcus predation by appendicularians, finding retention rates increase with prey concentration and predator age, and that both ecotypes HLI and HLII are equally grazed.

The paper compares swimming speed and energy efficiency across salp colony architectures, finding linear arrangements are faster and more efficient due to better frontal drag scaling.

The paper documents prey ingestion rates of four oceanic ctenophore species, finding they consume large numbers of prey and may be the most impactful planktonic predators in open oceans.
