Predicting the distribution of the scyphomedusa Chrysaora quinquecirrha in Chesapeake Bay (2007, background): “…role as a predator of Mnemiopsis leidyi ctenophores, and can control ctenophore populations in parts of Chesapeake Bay (Purcell & Cowan 1995, Purcell & Decker 2005), where the medusae reduced ctenophore abundance, and copepod numbers increased (Feigenbaum & Kelly 1984, Purcell & Decker 2005).”
Effects of low dissolved oxygen on zooplankton predation by the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (2004, background): “Mnemiopsis leidyi is an important predator of zooplankton and ichthyoplankton in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries (Cowan & Houde 1992, 1993, Purcell et al. 1994a,b, 2001b, Purcell & Decker 2005).”
Interannual variation of strobilation by the scyphozoan Aurelia labiata in relation to polyp density, temperature, salinity, and light conditions in situ (2009, background): “High sunlight (insolation) is also related to abundant jellyfish in situ (Hernroth & Gröndahl 1985, Molinero et al. 2005, Purcell & Decker 2005), and greater light exposure accelerates jellyfish production in the laboratory (Loeb 1973, Purcell 2007, Liu et al. 2009).”
Jellyfish abundance and climatic variation: contrasting responses in oceanographically distinct regions of the North Sea, and possible implications for fisheries (2005, background): “Further evidence for an NAO-driven influence on jellyfish abundance exists for Chesapeake Bay, where a low NAOI also results in a high abundance of Chrysaora scyphomedusae (Purcell & Decker, 2005; Purcell, 2005).”
Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, background): “Ctenophores Most studies of feeding rates of Mnemiopsis leidyi (called M. mccradyi in some publications) ctenophores have been in experimental containers from 4 to 1,000 l volume (reviewed in Purcell et al., 2001b; see also Kremer & Reeve, 1989; Decker et al., 2004; Purcell & Decker, 2005).”
Effects of temperature and light intensity on asexual reproduction of the scyphozoan, Aurelia aurita (L.) in Taiwan (2008, background): “…the proportion of ephyrae of total asexual reproduction (buds ? ephyrae) of other temperate species (Chrysaora quinquecirrha Desor, Moerisia lyonsi Boulenger, and A. labiata Chamisso & Eysenhardt) also increased in warm conditions (Purcell et al., 1999; Ma & Purcell, 2005a, 2005b; Purcell, 2007).”
Turnover of dead jellyfish: stimulation and retardation of microbial activity (2006, background): “Although challenged, some reports suggest that jellyfish biomass has increased in the past decades (Mills 2001), and that jellyfish biomass may be linked to climatic variability and change (Brodeur et al. 1999, Lynam et al. 2004, Purcell 2005, Purcell & Decker 2005).”
Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 (2010, background): “Interannual variation in M. leidyi abundance is strongly related to predator abundance in their native waters (reviewed in Purcell et al., 2001; Purcell & Decker, 2005 ).”
Gelatinous plankton: irregularities rule the world (sometimes) (2008, background): “While the influence of unusually large populations of predators is often negative, gelatinous carnivores at low densities might represent a keystone guild (Piraino et al. 2002, Purcell & Decker 2005).”
Biological Invasions by Marine Jellyfish (2008, background): “In its native range M. leidyi seasonally forms large blooms, especially in enclosed bays and estuaries, exerting significant predation pressure on zooplankton species (Feigenbaum and Kelly 1984; Purcell and Decker 2005 ), as well as on the eggs and larvae of economically important fish and shellfis”
Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “…gelatinous populations are open to speculation but may include climate change (Brodeur et al. 1999; Atkinson et al. 2004; Lynam et al. 2004, 2005; Purcell and Decker 2005; Purcell 2005; Link and Ford 2006; Attrill et al. 2007), species introductions (Shiganova 1998; Mills 2001; Graham and Bayha…”
Medusan morphospace: phylogenetic constraints, biomechanical solutions, and ecological consequences (2008, background): “ESOR 1848 influences copepod standing stocks in Chesapeake Bay via predation upon a highly efficient copepod predator, the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. AGASSIZ 1862 (Fig. 16; Purcell & Decker 2005 ).”
Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea (2008, background): “The ctenophore Mnemiopsis and scyphomedusan Chrysaora quinquecirrha system revealed a similar competition and fluctuation in Chesapeake Bay (Purcell and Decker, 2005).”
