The first occurrence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the North Sea (2007, background): “Originally, a species from the Western Atlantic (Purcell et al. 2001), occupying coastal waters over a wide latitudinal range (40°N–46°S), it invaded the Black Sea in the 1980s, followed by subsequent invasions of the other large water bodies in the Mediterranean basin (Shiganova et al. 2001).”
Distribution, abundance, behavior and metabolism of Periphylla periphylla, a mesopelagic coronate medusa in a Norwegian fjord (2001, background): “The collapse of the Black Sea fisheries, worth 250 million US$ per year, has been directly attributed to this ctenophore (Volovik et al., 1993; Purcell et al., 2001 ).”
Numerical increases and distributional shifts of Chrysaora quinquecirrha (Desor) and Aurelia aurita (Linné) (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2001, background): “Among the notable cases where ecological change is best documented with respect to jellyfish are the Black and Azov Seas (Kideys, 1994; Kovalev & Piontkovski, 1998; Shiganova, 1998; Purcell et al., 2001), the Bering Sea (Brodeur et al., 1999) and the Mediterranean Sea (Goy et al., 1989).”
Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “However, there is no agreement about the underlying cause of the bloom increases and a number of hypotheses have been advanced, including alien translocations (Purcell et al., 2001), eutrophication (Arai, 2001), an increase in hard substrata for polyp attachment in the case of cnidarians (Parsons & ”
Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea (2008, methodology): “They consume mainly zooplankton ranging from protists to mesozooplankton depending on their life stages (Purcell et al., 2001; Rapoza et al., 2005).”
Jellyfish blooms: are populations increasing globally in response to changing ocean conditions? (2001, background): “Purcell et al. (2001a) review the history and biology of M. leidyi in the Black Sea basin and compare it with the same species in its native North American estuaries elsewhere in this volume.”
Feeding on survival-food: gelatinous plankton as a source of food for anchovies (2001, background): “Increases in ‘jellyfish’ have also been the result of recent invasions of nonindigenous species into coastal ecosystems (see Mianzan & Cornelius, 1999; Purcell et al., 2001).”
A comparison of mesopelagic mesozooplankton community structure in the subtropical and subarctic North Pacific Ocean (2008, background): “…on beroid ctenophores (Condon and Steinberg, unpublished) and on previously 156 established relationships of ctenophore biovolume vs. wet and dry weight (Purcell et al., 2001), 157 assuming a specific gravity of 1ml (biovolume) = 1g (wet weight), and dry weight (g) = 0.01 x 158 wet weight (g).”
Timing and size of blooms of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in relation to temperature in Narragansett Bay, RI (2001, background): “leidyi following warm winters in other estuaries (Purcell et al., 2001).”
Population ecology of the invasive kelp Undaria pinnatifida in California: environmental and biological controls on demography (2004, unknown): “For example, the distribution of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis sp. in US estuaries is restricted by low winter water temperatures (Purcell et al. 2001), and the range of the nonindigenous plant Impatiens glandulifera in the UK is climate-limited (Willis & Hulme 2002).”
The new invader Beroe ovata Mayer 1912 and its effect on the ecosystem in the northeastern Black Sea (2001, background): “leidyi would have been expected in August–September, as observed in previous years (Purcell et al., 2001).”
Pelagic coelenterates and eutrophication: a review (2001, unknown): “The interactions between the three species have been reviewed by Mutlu et al. (1994), Kovalev & Piontkovski (1998), Kideys et al. (2000) and Purcell et al. (2001a).”
Effects of low dissolved oxygen on zooplankton predation by the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (2004, background): “Consumption by M. leidyi at some times and regions may reduce copepod populations in the mainstem Chesapeake Bay, particularly when its predator Chrysaora quinquecirrha is scarce (Purcell et al. 2001b, Purcell & Decker 2005).”
Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi (2010, background): “However, a similar decrease in zooplankton abundance and species number was not observed in Chesapeake Bay, in the native waters of M. leidyi (Purcell et al. 2001).”
The presence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Oslofjorden and considerations on the initial invasion pathways to the North and Baltic Seas (2007, background): “In the late 1990’s, another ctenophore, Beroe ovata Chamisso & Eysenhardt, 1821 (a natural predator of M. leidyi), was accidentally introduced to the Black Sea.”
Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, methodology): “CR measured in small containers seem low relative to those measured in large containers, and probably are not representative of in situ rates (Purcell et al., 2001b).”
