The emergence of medusa-specific cell states in the scyphozoan Aurelia coerulea

, 2023
The life cycle of most medusozoan cnidarians is marked by the metagenesis from the asexually reproducing sessile polyp and the sexually reproducing motile medusa. At present it is unknown to what extent this drastic morphological transformation is accompanied by molecular changes in the cell type composition.

Reconstructing the Biogeographic History of the Genus Aurelia Lamarck, 1816 (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa), and Reassessing the Nonindigenous Status of A. solida and A. coerulea in the Mediterranean Sea

Diversity, 2023
The genus Aurelia is one of the most extensively studied within the class Scyphozoa. However, much of the research was historically attributed to the species Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus, 1758) before the recognition of its taxonomic complexity.

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1443-1460, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Copper-induced oxidative stress inhibits asexual reproduction of Aurelia coerulea polyps

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Our research aims to investigate the specific mechanisms by which copper inhibits the asexual proliferation of Aurelia coerulea polyps.Aurelia coerulea polyps were exposed to various CuSO4 concentrations to study metamorphosis and budding proliferation.

Targeting metzincins to mitigate jellyfish blooms: a novel approach for conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionThe modification of the marine ecological environment has led to the frequent occurrence of jellyfish blooms, causing global hazards. The budding reproduction of jellyfish polyps is a critical factor in their population size, yet there is ...

A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Modulation of fatty acid profiles and turnover dynamics in jellyfish polyps through copepod diets: Insights into trophic interactions and nutrient flux

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The copepod exhibits a strong inclination toward synthesizing long‐chain polyunsaturated FA to maintain biochemical homeostasis when consuming low‐quality food. Jellyfish polyps fail to accumulate EPA and DHA but display high levels of ARA compared to their zooplankton and phytoplankton food sources, suggesting a potential association with dietary EPA ...

Hidden gems: Scattered knowledge hampered freshwater jellyfish research over the past one‐and‐a‐half centuries

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Approximately 150 years of research on freshwater jellyfish globally have resulted in a considerable amount of information. However, this is not comprehensively available to most researchers worldwide. Scattered information allows only for a fragmented view of the research field, which mediated by climate change received increasing importance.

The biogenic reefs formed by the alien polychaete Hydroides dianthus (Serpulidae, Annelida) favor the polyp stage of Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) in a coastal artificial lake [PDF]

, 2018
Blooms of the moon jellyfish Aurelia coerulea frequently occur in coastal waters. The increased availability of substrates for the settlement and proliferation of polyps due to the expansion of artificial structures in coastal areas has been proposed as ...
