Geographic variation and ecological adaptation in Aurelia (Scyphozoa, Semaeostomeae): some implications from molecular phylogenetics (2001, background): “Moreover, the benthic scyphistomae can reproduce asexually in more than half-a-dozen ways (Arai, 1997; Lucas, 2001; Watanabe & Ishii, 2001), allowing a population to persist and propagate even if environmental conditions do not foster sexual reproduction (via medusae) for one or more years.”
Interannual variation of strobilation by the scyphozoan Aurelia labiata in relation to polyp density, temperature, salinity, and light conditions in situ (2009, background): “Ephyrae appeared ~60 d earlier in Southampton Water, UK, when minimum winter temperature was warm (6.5°C) than when it was cool (4°C; Lucas 2001).”
Reproduction of Cnidaria (2002, background): “However, the triggers of encystment and excystment are obscure (Brewer and Feingold 1991; Condon et al. 2001; Lucas 2001).”
Population dynamics of natural colonies of Aurelia sp. scyphistomae in Tasmania, Australia (2008, background): “However, the population dynamics of the benthic phase of the life cycle, and links with environmental conditions, remain poorly understood (Purcell et al. 1999; Lucas 2001; Holst and Jarms 2007).”
Jellyfish blooms: are populations increasing globally in response to changing ocean conditions? (2001, background): “Aurelia aurita has been extensively studied in a variety of locations in the North Sea and Baltic Sea (Hay & Hislop, 1980; Möller, 1980, 1984a,b; Gröndahl, 1988; Schneider & Behrends, 1994; reviewed by Lucas, 2001), where it is implied that it is a natural endemic species.”
A review and synthesis on the systematics and evolution of jellyfish blooms: advantageous aggregations and adaptive assemblages (2008, background): “Its moderate size (up to 0.4 m b.d.), and its ability to prosper in peripheral habitats (e.g., Hamner et al., 1982), recruit rapidly (Lucas, 2001), and navigate directionally are among the important aspects of its biology with regard to aggregations, blooms, and swarms.”
Distribution, abundance, behavior and metabolism of Periphylla periphylla, a mesopelagic coronate medusa in a Norwegian fjord (2001, background): “In those regions, there is an annual spring/summer outburst of newly recruited medusae (e.g. Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus) and Cyanea capillata (Linnaeus) that quickly grow to large size (Möller, 1980; Hernroth & Grøndal, 1983; Van Der Veer & Oorthuysen, 1985; Berstad et al., 1995; Lucas, 2001).”
A coupled plankton-anchovy population dynamics model assessing nonlinear controls of anchovy and gelatinous biomass in the Black Sea (2008, background): “Benthic polyps bud small (1–2 mm) medusae that grow in spring and reach a sexually mature adult stage in summer (Lucas 2001).”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “For example, in temperate waters of the northern Atlantic, strobilation is in autumn or winter, ephyrae are present in spring, and medusae with planulae occur in summer; by contrast, in tropical waters, ephyrae and medusae may be present all year (reviewed by Lucas, 2001).”
Environmental effects on asexual reproduction rates of the scyphozoan Aurelia labiata (2007, background): “Cnidarians also have very versatile reproductive strategies (Lucas 2001, Boero et al. 2002).”
Substrate choice and settlement preferences of planula larvae of five Scyphozoa (Cnidaria) from German Bight, North Sea (2007, background): “The paucity of knowledge regarding the ecology of the polyp stage has been noted ( Lucas 2001; Mills 2001) and although their important role on the population dynamics of scyphozoan species is obvious, studies on the environmental factors controlling the distribution and reproduction of polyps are ”
Unusual population explosion of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) in East Asian waters (2006, background): “The majority of medusae died off by mid-winter, probably due to low water temperatures (i.e. ca. 10°C), starvation (Lucas & Lawes 1998), or simply genetically determined senescence (Möller 1980, Lucas 2001).”
Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “Other recent studies have examined feeding in the laboratory (e.g. Stoecker et al. 1987, Båmstedt 1990, Båmstedt et al. 1994), and population dynamics and life history (reviewed in Lucas 2001).”
