Jellyfish blooms and ecological interactions [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2014 Scientific and public interest in the biology and ecology of gelatinous zooplankton (jellyfish) has increased significantly over the past two decades. This Theme Section represents the proceedings of the 4th International Jellyfish Blooms Symposium held in Hiroshima, Japan, in June 2013; to date, this was the largest meeting ever of the international ...

The effects of decomposing invasive jellyfish on biogeochemical fluxes and microbial dynamics in an ultra-oligotrophic sea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Over the past several decades, jellyfish blooms have intensified spatially and temporally, affecting functions and services of ecosystems worldwide. At the demise of a bloom, an enormous amount of jellyfish biomass sinks to the seabed and decomposes ...

Recurrent jellyfish blooms are a consequence of global oscillations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 A perceived recent increase in global jellyfish abundance has been portrayed as a symptom of degraded oceans. This perception is based primarily on a few case studies and anecdotal evidence, but a formal analysis of global temporal trends in jellyfish populations has been missing.

Is the Presence of Jellyfish Problematic or Beneficial?
Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2013 Jellyfish are a diverse group of animals. The group consists of Chordata, Ctenophora and, mainly, Cnidaria. Jellyfish are often thought to be harmful, but few can cause fatality in humans.

Identification of genetically and oceanographically distinct blooms of jellyfish [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013 Reports of nuisance jellyfish blooms have increased worldwide during the last half-century, but the possible causes remain unclear. A persistent difficulty lies in identifying whether blooms occur owing to local or regional processes.

Occurrence and Habitat Characteristics of Aurelia sp. Polyps in a High-Latitude Fjord
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Causes and consequences of jellyfish bloom formation are subject to controversial discussions worldwide. While medusae have been studied to a broader extent, the knowledge on polyp stages of scyphozoans is limited thus hampering reliable prediction of ...

Fluctuation and diversity of Hydromedusae (Hydrozoa, Cnidaria) in a highly productive region of the Gulf of Mexico inferred from high frequency plankton sampling [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Hydrozoa medusae undergo blooms and seasonal fluctuations; however the drivers of such fluctuations are unknown. To understand how medusa populations fluctuate in response to seasonal factors such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and ...

Transgenerational effects and temperature variation alter life history traits of the moon jellyfish
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Understanding the life history strategy of organisms is key to predicting their population dynamics. The population of scyphozoan jellyfish has displayed an increasing trend in recent decades, yet its life history strategy is not fully understood.
