The perception that anthropogenic stressors cause jellyfish blooms is widespread within the
scientific literature and media but robust evidence in support of these claims appears scarce …

The harmful irregular jellyfish blooms in recent years are difficult to be deciphered by macro
hydrographic condition changes. To fundamentally explain the dynamic of jellyfish …

Representatives of gelatinous zooplankton are increasingly reported in large numbers, with
more than 1000 species worldwide, including Cnidaria, Ctenophora and Thaliacea, often …

When organisms are unable to feed ad libitum they may be more susceptible to negative
effects of environmental stressors such as ocean acidification and warming (OAW). We …

Scyphozoan jellyfish blooms display high interannual variability in terms of timing of
appearance and size of the bloom. To understand the causes of this variability, the …

Ocean acidification and warming are challenging marine organisms and ecosystems around
the world. The synergetic effects of these two climate change stressors on jellyfish remain …

Numerous studies have assessed the detrimental effects of microplastics (MPs) on aquatic
invertebrates due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. In this study, the toxic effects of …

Ocean acidification impacts many marine biota. Although evolutionary responses should
occur during persisting environmental change, little is known about the adaptability of …

Dams alter the natural dynamics of river inflow, disrupting biological processes in
downstream ecosystems, as observed in the Guadiana estuary (SW Iberian Peninsula …

Temperature is one of the most important drivers to affect marine ectotherms in the context of
anthropogenic climate change modifying seasonal cycles in temperate regions. To reliably …
