Predation on pelagic coelenterates: a review (2005, background): “There is an extensive literature on the specificity and dynamics of benthic predation and on the incorporation and utilization by the nudibranchs of the cnidae of the prey as protection (Todd, 1981; Harris, 1987; Frick, 2003).”
Is the comb jelly really to blame for it all? Mnemiopsis leidyi and the ecological concerns about the Caspian Sea (2004, background): “This does not contradict the statement of Finenko et al. (2003) that in 1999 and 2000 B. ovata ‘appeared in (the) moment of maximum M. leidyi biomass’ (which probably was a seasonal, not an annual maximum), because at this time the annual maximum M. leidyi biomass had already decreased from 600 g…”
The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 in coastal waters of the Netherlands: an unrecognized invasion? (2006, background): “Perhaps in the future, the area may experience an invasion of the Mnemiopsis predator Beroe ovata sensu Mayer from the western Atlantic, which may help control M. leidyi populations, as it did in parts of the Black Sea (Finenko et al. 2003).”
