Feeding and Growth in the Ephyra Stage of Aurelia coerulea: An In Situ Study [PDF]
BiologyThe ecological role and in situ feeding potential of Aurelia coerulea ephyrae remain poorly quantified. We conducted in situ chamber experiments in Geoje and Jaran Bay, Korea, to evaluate clearance rates, specific growth rate (SGR), and grazing carbon ...

Heat stress disrupts early development and photosymbiosis in Cassiopea jellyfish. [PDF]
PLoS ONEPhotosymbioses between Cnidarians and algae are widespread in marine ecosystems. The jellyfish Cassiopea-Symbiodinium symbiosis serves as a valuable model for studying host-symbiont interactions in photosymbiotic organisms.
