• Planktonic cnidarian distribution and feeding of Pelagia noctiluca in the NW Mediterranean Sea (2010, background): “Positive selection for ichthyoplankton by other jellyfish species has been reported in other areas as well (Purcell, 1985, 1989; Purcell et al., 1994; Purcell & Sturdevant, 2001).”
• Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World’s Major Fisheries (2014, background): “Dietary overlaps can be often substantial as can be jellyfish predation on fish eggs and larvae (Purcell et al., 1994; Purcell and Sturdevant, 2001).”
• Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “Although the diets of many gelatinous predators have been examined, there are few examples (Purcell 1990; Purcell and Sturdevant 2001) where these diets were directly compared to co-occurring zooplanktivorous pelagic fishes.”
• Increases in jellyfish biomass in the Bering Sea: implications for the ecosystem (2002, background): “Purcell & Sturdevant (2001) examined diets of jellyfishes and pelagic juvenile fish species in Prince William Sound, Alaska, an ecosystem at the same latitude and somewhat similar to the eastern Bering Sea.”
• Extreme reduction in nutritional value of a key forage fish during the Pacific marine heatwave of 2014-2016 (2019, background): “Sand lance are not selective foragers (Purcell & Sturdevant 2001) and can provide an index for energy transferred through forage fish more generally.”
• Evidence for impacts by jellyfish on North Sea herring recruitment (2005, background): “Competition for food between jellyfish and adult finfish has also been shown, with dietary similarities of 73 and 50% respectively for Pacific herring and medusae of Aurelia labiata and Cyanea capillata (Purcell & Sturdevant 2001).”
• The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “, 2010; Pakhomov and Froneman, 2004; Perissinotto and Pakhomov, 1998); to carnivorous species such as Mnemiopsis leydii and various Scyphozoa that compete with fish and other micronekton for prey (Daskalov, 2002; Mol̈ler, 1984; Purcell and Grover, 1990; Purcell and Sturdevant, 2001).”
• Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “Diets and prey selection also are reported for A. aurita (e.g. Sullivan et al. 1994, Graham & Kroutil 2001) and A. labiata (Purcell & Sturdevant 2001).”
• Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea (2008, background): “…such as diminishing the size of native populations and even extinctions, as well as significant alterations in community structure and ecosystem functioning (Moller, 1984; Purcell and Grover, 1990; Cohen and Carlton, 1998; Brodeur et al., 1999; Purcell and Sturdevant, 2001; Lynam et al., 2005).”
• Direct and indirect trophic interactions of Aurelia sp. (Scyphozoa) in a stratified marine environment (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea) (2007, background): “…by the naupliar and juvenile copepodite stages of small copepod species, Cladocera, and pelagic tunicates (Turner et al. 1988; Deibel and Lee 1992; Bedo et al. 1993), which in turn may represent food items for jellyfish (Omori et al. 1995; Purcell and Sturdevant 2001; Barz and Hirche 2005).”
• Effects of low salinity on settlement and strobilation of scyphozoa (Cnidaria): Is the lion’s mane Cyanea capillata (L.) able to reproduce in the brackish Baltic Sea? (2010, background): “Cyanea capillata medusae eat the same prey as zooplanktivorous fish (Purcell & Sturdevant, 2001), and nematocysts of C. capillata contain a highly effective toxin that causes a painful sting in humans (Heeger et al., 1992; Lassen et al., this volume; Wiebring et al., this volume).”
• Interactions of pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores with fish: a review (2001, background): “Purcell & Sturdevant (2001) quantify the diets of four gelatinous species and the zooplanktivorous juveniles of four fish species in Prince William Sound, Alaska.”
• Jellyfish abundance and climatic variation: contrasting responses in oceanographically distinct regions of the North Sea, and possible implications for fisheries (2005, background): “The warm sea temperature in 1983 may also have contributed to the extremely high medusa abundance, since high temperatures can increase the rate of strobilation and ephyrae production (Purcell et al., 1999).”
