Global Warming and the Spread of the Introduced Jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda: Thermal Niche and Habitat Suitability in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWritten Summary: Climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems, with the Mediterranean Sea among the most vulnerable due to warming and non‐native species such as the upside‐down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda. We investigated the thermal tolerance and habitat suitability of its polyps, a key stage for reproduction and persistence.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1620-1631, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Morphological identification of cnidarian species can be difficult throughout all life stages due to the lack of distinct morphological characters. Moreover, in some cnidarian taxa genetic markers are not fully informative, and in these cases combinations of different markers or additional morphological verifications may be required. Proteomic

Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 661-667, September/October 2023., 2023 The mean (±SD) magnesium (left) and calcium (right) concentrations (µg/g) in Aurelia aurita and Cassiopea andromeda following freezing (F) or 144 g/L MgCl2 bath (Mg0) and one (R1) or two (R2) subsequent baths in source water for trials 1 and 2. Tissue magnesium and calcium were significantly different between species in both trials.

Indomethacin reproducibly induces metamorphosis in Cassiopea xamachana scyphistomae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Cassiopea xamachana jellyfish are an attractive model system to study metamorphosis and/or cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis due to the ease of cultivation of their planula larvae and scyphistomae through their asexual cycle, in which the latter can bud

Size‐based changes in trophic ecology and nutritional quality of moon jellyfish (Aurelia labiata)
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite their seemingly watery constitution, jellyfish are eaten by a diverse range of predators. However, while the role of jellyfish in marine food webs is gaining attention, the nutritional value of these gelatinous organisms and how it varies remain poorly understood.

Integrative biology of injury in animals
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 34-62, February 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Mechanical injury is a prevalent challenge in the lives of animals with myriad potential consequences for organisms, including reduced fitness and death. Research on animal injury has focused on many aspects, including the frequency and severity of wounding in wild populations, the short‐ and long‐term consequences of injury at different ...

Mixotrophic flagellate ingestion boosts microplastic accumulation in ascidians
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 337, Issue 6, Page 639-644, July 1, 2022., 2022 Mixotrophic flagellate presence boosts microplastic accumulation in ascidian juveniles. Abstract Microplastics are contaminants of global environmental concern. They can be ingested by a variety of organisms when they enter the food web. Several studies have reported trophic transfer of microplastics from low trophic levels to higher ones ...

Spawning site distribution of a bluefin tuna reduces jellyfish predation on early life stages
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 3669-3681, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Bluefin tunas across the world migrate long distances to spawn in particularly warm and oligotrophic areas constrained by oceanographic fronts. The low abundance of predators in these areas increases survival chances of their early life stages, but its importance for choice of spawning habitat is unknown. Here, we use estimated clearance rates

Validation of eDNA as a viable method of detection for dangerous cubozoan jellyfish
Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 769-779, July 2021., 2021 Certain species of cubozoan jellyfishes can prove fatal for humans when envenomation occurs and remains one of the biggest concerns for the multibillion dollar tourism industry in tropical waters. Environmental DNA was utilized to provide accurate detection of dangerous cubozoans, as well as their cryptic life stages which have never before been ...
