Jellyfish blooms can represent a significant but largely overlooked source of organic matter
(OM), in particular at the local and regional scale. We provide an overview of the current …

Cnidarians have large surface areas available for colonization by microbial organisms,
which serve a multitude of functions in the environment. However, relatively few studies …

Background: Jellyfish respond quickly to external stress that stimulates mucus secretion as a
defense. Neither the composition of secreted mucus nor the process of secretion are well …

Jellyfish and gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) in general, fulfill important ecological roles with
significant impacts, although they are often oversimplified or misunderstood. This paper …

The present work was carried out to identify the antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities of
Aurelia aurita. The chemical profiling analysis showed that it possess different biologically …

Although microalgae typically serve as prey for jellyfish ephyrae in marine food webs, this
study investigated the potential of harmful microalgae to produce detrimental effects on the …

Submarine canyons are large geomorphological features that incise continental margins
and act as highly dynamic conduits of sediments from shallow to the deep-sea regions. They …

Jellyfish modulate the energy fluxes between compartments of aquatic ecosystems and the
period that energy remains within each compartment. However, the contribution of different …

Aim. The aim of the study is to find out what external factors may be the driving force behind
the growth and population dynamics of two ecologically similar species of gelatinous …

Chesapeake Bay (CB) and the northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) exhibit contrasting patterns in
trophic status and thereby offer contrasting case studies in microbial ecology. In the surface …
