- Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “Aequorea victoria (Murbach & Shearer) hydromedusae in the northeastern Pacific Aequorea spp. are very large hydromedusae (<25 cm bell diameter) with species found around the world (Bouillon, 1999; Purcell, 2003; Sparks et al., 2005).”
- Medusan morphospace: phylogenetic constraints, biomechanical solutions, and ecological consequences (2008, background): “Consequently, strong predatory selection by a guild of cruising hydromedusae can substantially affect field populations of soft-bodied prey (Purcell 1990; Purcell & Grover 1990; Purcell 2003).”
- Evidence for impacts by jellyfish on North Sea herring recruitment (2005, background): “…of Scyphozoa) abundance is increasing in many marine ecosystems (Mills 2001, Xian et al. 2005) and, because jellyfish are important consumers of zooplankton, they might have an increasingly adverse affect on fish populations (Schneider & Behrends 1998, Purcell & Arai 2001, Sommer et al. 2002).”
- Jellyfish abundance and climatic variation: contrasting responses in oceanographically distinct regions of the North Sea, and possible implications for fisheries (2005, background): “…abundance of medusae is a measure of the peak of the jellyfish bloom, which serves as a good indicator of interannual variability in jellyfish abundance in the North Sea; the median is a useful additional measure, particularly for C. capillata which does not form dense aggregations (Purcell, 2003).”
- Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, methodology): “Data on Aurelia spp. are from Prince William Sound, Alaska (PWS; Purcell, 2003), Southampton, United Kingdom (UK; Lucas, unpublished), the Inland Sea, Japan (ISJ; Uye & Shimauchi, 2005), and Palau (NLK; Dawson & Martin, 2001).”
- Stable isotope and fatty acid tracers in energy and nutrient studies of jellyfish: a review (2008, background): “Gut content analyses indicate that jellyfish ingest large numbers of zooplankton that have inorganic chitinous or calcareous exoskeletons (e.g., mollusc veligers and copepods; Purcell, 2003; Browne & Kingsford, 2005).”
- A review and synthesis on the systematics and evolution of jellyfish blooms: advantageous aggregations and adaptive assemblages (2008, background): “Ulmaridae Aurelia 17 Aggregates, blooms, and swarms (Mayer, 1910; Bigelow, 1926; Yasuda, 1968, 1969, 1971; Russell, 1970; Hamner & Jenssen, 1974; Möller, 1980; Schneider, 1988, 1989; Hamner et al., 1994; Lucas, 1996, 2001; Miyake et al., 1997; Dawson & Martin, 2001; Graham, 2001; Purcell, 2003; Albe”
- Jellyfish in ecosystems, online databases, and ecosystem models (2008, background): “Prey consumption rates by jellyfish can be estimated directly from gut contents (Purcell, 2003), but this requires knowledge of digestion times that vary widely by prey type and temperature (reviewed by Arai, 1997).”
- Climate‐related increases in jellyfish frequency suggest a more gelatinous future for the North Sea (2007, background): “Jellyfish medusae are key predators in many of the world’s pelagic systems (Mills 1995) and can affect the abundance of zooplankton (Purcell 2003), fish larvae, and eggs (Purcell et al.”
