Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species found in these ecosystems appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey. We quantified the hydrodynamics, morphology, behavior four co‐occurring, cosmopolitan lobate ( Eurhamp...

The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 originates from estuaries and coastal waters along Atlantic coastlines the Chesapeake Bay, USA, to Argentina. Through ballast waters, species has spread past 30 years over Eurasia. On French Mediterranean coastlines, was first formally identified in Berre Lagoon 2005 been episodically present other lagoons as Bages-Sigean, Vaccarès, Estomac. Sin...
