“…Their removal by large mucous mesh grazers alters the picture of how planktonic archaea link to marine food webs. This work, combined with results from experiments on cultivated grazers, artificial prey, measurements of mesh pore sizes, and studies from coastal environments, suggests a role for mucous grazers in marine microbial mortality and evolution (Dadon‐Pilosof et al, 2019; Fender et al, 2022; Stukel et al, 2021; Sutherland et al, 2010). As mucous mesh grazers are ubiquitous, and bloom rapidly in response to change, this trophic interaction likely has a global role in shaping nutrient cycling, microbial community ecology, evolution, and cross‐scale ecosystem structure.…”

“…Comparing the ratios of prey taxa to each other in the guts and seawater revealed changes in the relative abundances of prey, suggesting selective feeding (Figure 5A,B). Although size is an important property governing particle capture by salps (Fender et al, 2022), mounting evidence indicates that not only can mucous mesh grazers capture particles smaller than mesh openings at appreciable rates (Conley et al, 2018), but particles of similar size are not collected at the same rates (Dadon‐Pilosof et al, 2019). In the present study, Prochlorococcus (~0.55 μm; Casey et al, 2019) was proportionally much less abundant in the guts than other prey types of similar size (Figure 5B, top).…”

“…The distribution of thaliaceans is known to be influenced by hydrodynamic conditions such as the sea temperature and salinity [3,8], the influx intensity of water masses within the study region [3,9], the availability of food [10], and various biological factors, including prey competition and predator-prey relationships [11][12][13]. Salpa fusiformis is the widest-ranging and most abundant thaliacean species worldwide, occurring in Pacific waters [12][13][14][15][16]. Mass aggregations of S. fusiformis have been reported to cause blockages in the cooling water supply screens of South Korea's nuclear power plants and to damage the nets of coastal fish farms [17][18][19][20].…”
