Dangerous jellyfish blooms are predictable. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2014 The potentially fatal Irukandji syndrome is relatively common in tropical waters throughout the world. It is caused by the sting of the Irukandji jellyfish, a family of box jellyfish that are almost impossible to detect in the water owing to their small size and transparency.

Recurrent jellyfish blooms are a consequence of global oscillations. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 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.
