Questioning the Rise of Gelatinous Zooplankton in the World's Oceans (2012, unknown): “Given the dearth of knowledge about gelatinous zooplankton in major ocean basins, do these studies truly represent the entire range of fluctuations exhibited globally by modern populations?”
Life cycle of the jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) and its distribution, seasonality and inter-annual variability along the Catalan coast and the Mar Menor (Spain, NW Mediterranean) (2011, background): “Moreover, jellyfish that aggregate, bloom or swarm seem to be clustered taxonomically and phylogenetically (Hamner and Dawson 2008) and a suite of life history and phenotypically distinguishing features (podocyst formation, polydisc strobilation, ephyrae, circular and radial canals, large size)…”
Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “The patterns that were revealed in this study, however, clearly demonstrate that western Pacific leatherbacks exploit resources in many areas where varying physical and biological mechanisms can produce aggregations of gelatinous zooplankton prey (Graham et al. 2001, Hamner and Dawson 2009).”
