Is global ocean sprawl a cause of jellyfish blooms? [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2012 Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) blooms appear to be increasing in both intensity and frequency in many coastal areas worldwide, due to multiple hypothesized anthropogenic stressors. Here, we propose that the proliferation of artificial structures – associated with (1) the exponential growth in shipping, aquaculture, and other coastal industries, and (2)

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Observations on the Surface Structure of Aurelia solida (Scyphozoa) Polyps and Medusae
Diversity, 2021 The surface structures and mucus layers that form an interface between the epithelial layer of organisms and their external environment were studied in the bloom-forming moon jellyfish (Aurelia solida, Scyphozoa) from the northern Adriatic.

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications
Small, Volume 22, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Preface: Giant jellyfish blooms in Chinese waters [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2015 The rationale, the design, and the methods that have been used in the Chinese National Basic Research Project on "Giant Jellyfish Blooms in Chinese Seas" are described. Sixteen papers resulting from the project are published in the present special issue, and these are individually addressed.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.
