The Young Stages of the Cannonball Jellyfish (Stomolophus sp. 2) from the Central Gulf of California (Mexico)

Diversity, 2021
Exploitation of the cannonball jellyfish (Stomolophus sp. 2) is increasing in Mexico and USA due to successful fisheries associated with seasonal blooms in coastal areas. Previously, it was proposed that such blooms could be identified by recognizing the

Current-Oriented Swimming by Jellyfish and Its Role in Bloom Maintenance [PDF]

Current Biology, 2015
Cross-flows (winds or currents) affect animal movements [1-3]. Animals can temporarily be carried off course or permanently carried away from their preferred habitat by drift depending on their own traveling speed in relation to that of the flow [1]. Animals able to only weakly fly or swim will be the most impacted (e.g., [4]).

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
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

Murder in the dark: Can parasites bring jellyfish blooms to fall?

Fauna Norvegica
Jellyfish form irregular and seemingly unpredictable blooms that can be the result of redistribution/aggregation events or peaks in population growth. Such blooms can affect ecosystem structure and stability due to the role of jellyfish as top predators

First description of the life cycle of the jellyfish Rhizostoma luteum (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Jellyfish blooms are a significant environmental problem that is increasing and may be influenced by anthropocentric practices such as overfishing, pollution, eutrophication, translocation, climate change, and ocean acidification.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
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.

Ghosts of the Techno-Fix Ocean? A Short History of Periphylla periphylla in the Norwegian Fjords

Humanities
In 1980, reports of deep-sea jellyfish blooms in Norwegian fjords led researchers to investigate the problem. The helmet jellyfish, Periphylla periphylla, has since migrated far north into Arctic waters.

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Environmental control of phase transition and polyp survival of a massive-outbreaker jellyfish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
A number of causes have been proposed to account for the occurrence of gelatinous zooplankton (both jellyfish and ctenophore) blooms. Jellyfish species have a complex life history involving a benthic asexual phase (polyp) and a pelagic sexual phase ...

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)
