broadly overlap with summer-fall hypoxia of the Louisiana–Texas shelf. It has been …

Jellyfish are important components of marine food webs and form problematic blooms that
negatively impact human enterprise. Jellyfish of the genus Aurelia (Class Scyphozoa) are …

Increasing jellyfish abundance has been documented worldwide, though few studies have
