Evidence of nitrification associated with globally distributed pelagic jellyfish
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 2159-2173, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Often considered detrimental to the environment and human activities, jellyfish blooms are increasing in several coastal regions worldwide. Yet, the overall effect of these outbreaks on ecosystem productivity and structure are not fully understood. Here we provide evidence for a so far unanticipated role of jellyfish in marine nitrogen cycling.

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 573-590, May 2021., 2021 Despite environmental DNA approach is an innovative biomonitoring tool, knowledge of temporal and spatial eDNA variation need to be improve to obtain reliable interpretation of the monitored communities. In this study, we investigated the temporal transition in eDNA of coastal marine communities between open‐water and ice‐covered periods in two Arctic ...

The importance of molecular characters when morphological variability hinders diagnosability: systematics of the moon jellyfish genus Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Cryptic species have been detected across Metazoa, and while no apparent morphological features distinguish them, it should not impede taxonomists from formal descriptions.

Trophic Transfer of Microplastics From Copepods to Jellyfish in the Marine Environment
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Microplastics (MPs) can be ingested by marine organisms directly or indirectly through trophic transfer from contaminated prey. In the marine ecosystem, zooplankton are an important link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels in the marine food ...

Microplastics ingestion in the ephyra stage of Aurelia sp. triggers acute and behavioral responses [PDF]
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020 For the first time, we report a correspondence between microplastics (MP) ingestion and ecotoxicological effects in gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidarian jellyfish). The ephyra stage of the jellyfish Aurelia sp. was exposed to both environmental and high concentrations of fluorescent 1-4 μm polyethylene MP (0.01-10 mg/L). After 24 and 48 h, MP accumulation,

Tracking Jellyfish Swarm Origins Using a Combined Oceanographic-Genetic-Citizen Science Approach
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Biological invasions of jellyfish may critically affect ecosystems and ecosystem services, yet their complex life cycle makes tracking their origins and dispersal vectors a challenging task.

, 2020 Scyphozoan jellyfish blooms display high interannual variability in terms of timing of appearance and size of the bloom. To understand the causes of this variability, the conditions experienced by the polyps prior to the production of ephyrae in the ...
