On the significance of Antarctic jellyfish as food for Adélie penguins, as revealed by video loggers
International audience Concern of pelagic gelatinous organisms takingover perturbed marine ecosystems has led to a recentincrease in research into this group. However, the significanceof this group as prey remains challenging to assess,and hence, gelatinous consumers are often depicted incorrectlyas...
