Microbiota-derived β carotene is required for strobilation of Aurelia aurita by impacting host retinoic acid signaling [PDF]
iScienceSummary The strobilation process, an asexual reproduction mechanism in Aurelia aurita, transitions from the sessile polyp to the pelagic medusa stage.

The Native Microbiome is Crucial for Offspring Generation and Fitness of
mBio, 2020 All multicellular organisms are associated with microbial communities, ultimately forming a metaorganism. Several studies conducted on well-established model organisms point to immunological, metabolic, and behavioral benefits of the associated ...

Ecological interactions driving spring dynamics of Aurelia aurita medusae (Linnaeus, 1758) in the western and north-western Black Sea [PDF]
Nature ConservationThis study examined the ecological factors influencing spring fluctuations in the medusa population of the moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) in the western and north-western Black Sea between 2009 and 2015.

Respiratory response to temperature of three populations of Aurelia aurita polyps in northern Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The benthic life stage (polyp or scyphistoma) of the bloom-forming jellyfish, Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus, 1759), also known as the moon jellyfish, contributes to the seasonal occurrence and abundance of medusa blooms via asexual reproduction. A.

Aurelia aurita (Cnidaria) oocytes' contact plate structure and development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 One of the A. aurita medusa main mesoglea polypeptides, mesoglein, has been described previously. Mesoglein belongs to ZP-domain protein family and therefore we focused on A.aurita oogenesis.

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Comparative Analysis of Convergent Jellyfish Eyes Reveals Extensive Differences in Expression of Vision‐Related Genes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Eyes have evolved in many different lineages, including several times within jellyfish, yet the relative contributions of shared and lineage‐specific genes to convergent eyes are not known. We find that three long‐diverged species of jellyfish have mostly divergent patterns of gene expression in their eye‐bearing tissues, suggesting a major role for ...
