We present an overview of the plankton studies conducted during the last 25 years in the
epipelagic offshore waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This quasi-enclosed sea is …

Diel diving patterns have been widely documented among plankton-feeding marine
vertebrates. In many cases, these patterns have been interpreted as a response to the diel …

One of the obstacles to detecting regional trends in jellyfish populations is the lack of a
defined baseline. In the Adriatic Sea, the jellyfish fauna (Scyphozoa and Ctenophora) is …

This study investigates the diversity and distribution of Medusozoa, a clade of the phylum
Cnidaria, within the framework of the Iberian Peninsula and surrounding archipelagos …

The majority of Hydrozoa is represented by not readily noticeable, small species. In recent

An unusual phenomenon was recorded in the deep South Adriatic in February 2008:
phytoplankton reached their maximum abundance in the aphotic zone. This was associated …

Hydromedusae were photographed and collected during 75 night-time dives in the
Gulfstream off Florida. Most of the collected material was used to obtain DNA extracts and …

From the eleven-year data record at the Southern Adriatic Observatory (E2M3A), we study
for the first time in the Adriatic Sea the strength of the backscatter signal from an Acoustic …

This manuscript deals with the first records of five jellyfish species in the Marmara Sea
(Turkey) of previously unrecorded medusozoan species (four hydrozoan taxa, Liriope …
