Datasets for: A global review of pyrosomes: Shedding light on the ocean’s elusive gelatinous ‘fire-bodies’

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

These are the datasets used to create all figures included in: "Lilly, L.E., Suthers, I.M., Everett, J.D., Richardson, A.J. (2023). A Global Review of Pyrosomes: Shedding light on the ocean’s elusive gelatinous ‘fire-bodies’. Limnology & Oceanography Letters."

The review presents a comprehensive global description of the body of current knowledge on pyrosomes, a zooplanktonic tunicate taxon closely related to salps, doliolids, and appendicularians.

For review analyses, we used pyrosome observations and associated information from literature-published studies and four databases: NOAA COPEPOD Urochordates database (NOAA, 2022; https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/copepod/atlas/html/taxatlas_4350000.html), BCO-DMO Jellyfish Database Initiative (JeDI; Condon et al., 2014; https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/526852), Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.a8phvp), and Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS; https://obis.org/taxon/137216). We matched pyrosome observations to corresponding satellite-measured sea surface temperature (NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature, V2, high-resolution, https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.noaa.oisst.v2.highres.html) and chlorophyll-a (MODIS-AQUA, 4 km^2 resolution, Melin, 2013; http://data.europa.eu/89h/10161412-a76c-42b0-b4e1-5fcccdc412b2). The files included in this metadata record have been subsetted from all original file sources. Our subsetted files are designed to run with the associated MATLAB scripts to recreate all manuscript files.

We include seven MATLAB scripts: 1) A four-part script to clean up all pyrosome observations, divide to species level, and remove duplicate records from multiple databases and within each database, and 2) Three standalone scripts to plot Figs. 1, 2, and 3.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

NOAA OI SST v2: We matched pyrosome observations to the corresponding monthly mean SST value (nearest Lat/Lon pairing) from either: 1) the same year-month as the pyrosome sample (for all pyrosome samples between 1981-2020) or 2) the climatological monthly mean SST (for pyrosome samples outside of 1981-2020). Both datasets were obtained from NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations Optimum Interpolation SST v2: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.noaa.oisst.v2.highres.html. Both datasets are to 0.25 x 0.25 degree resolution. The datasets were downloaded as NetCDF (.nc) files and pre-matched to each pyrosome record. The datafile provided here returns the subset of all pyrosome-SST pairings at specific sample locations, to be run directly via the 'St2_Fig2.m' script

Description:

MODIS-AQUA Chl-a: We matched pyrosome observations to the corresponding monthly mean Chl-a value (nearest Lat/Lon pairing) from either: 1) the same year-month as the pyrosome sample (for all pyrosome samples between 2003-2017) or 2) the climatological monthly mean Chl-a (for pyrosome samples outside of 2003-2017). Both datasets were obtained from GMIS MODIS-AQUA. Climatology: https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/41b070fa-fef5-4816-b60d-7e5a186e197e. Monthly-resolution: http://data.europa.eu/89h/10161412-a76c-42b0-b4e1-5fcccdc412b2. Both datasets are to 0.04 x 0.04 degree resolution. The datasets were downloaded as NetCDF (.nc) files and pre-matched to each pyrosome record.

NOAA COPEPOD Urochordates dataset: This dataset of all Urochordate observations was compiled for the NOAA COPEPOD database: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/copepod/atlas/html/taxatlas_4350000.html. The .txt file of all Urochordate observations is inputted to the associated MATLAB script, and all Pyrosoma spp. observations are extracted, with their associated variables, for plotting.

Description:

Literature Studies: All pyrosome observations described in published literature studies have been compiled by Lilly et al. in 'LiteratureStudies_PyrosomeObs_All.csv', with associated dates, positions, and references. The subset of those observations that includes vertical water column depth ('Depth') or colony density ('Density') information is included in 'LiteratureStudies_PyrosomeObs_DensityDepth.csv'.

Abstract:

Pyrosomes are colonial tunicates that form gelatinous, cylindrical tubes and occasionally produce dense bioluminescing swarms. The rapid ‘bloom-bust’ dynamics of pyrosomes have the potential to outcompete other zooplankton groups, restructure marine food webs, enhance carbon export pathways, and interfere with human activities. Pyrosomes have been recorded for over two centuries, yet much remains unknown about their physiology, bloom mechanisms, and ecosystem impacts. Recent increases in pyrosome observations worldwide prompts the question of whether blooms are increasing due to ocean changes. This review aims to clarify consensus information on pyrosome biology and ecology, and explores apparent contradictions in habitat preferences and diel vertical migration. We posit that one species, Pyrosoma atlanticum, may preferentially inhabit waters less than 18°C and alter its diel vertical migration activity to return to optimal conditions. Expanding our knowledge of pyrosomes is essential to facilitate their inclusion in ecosystem models and forecast future population distributions.
