Stable isotope and fatty acid tracers in energy and nutrient studies of jellyfish: a review (2008, background): “Although tracer techniques have been used extensively to elucidate food webs in terrestrial and estuarine systems, they have been applied less frequently to pelagic systems and relatively rarely to studies involving gelatinous zooplankton (Montoya et al., 1990; Malej et al., 1993; Brodeur et al., 20”

Zooplankton species composition, abundance and biomass on the eastern Bering Sea shelf during summer: The potential role of water-column stability and nutrients in structuring the zooplankton community (2008, methodology): “Age-0 pollock and the scyphozoan Chrysaora melanaster are major planktivores of the southeastern Bering Sea shelf (Brodeur et al., 1999, 2002; Ciannelli et al., 2004; Winter et al., 2005).”
End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps (2010, neutral): “Given the worldwide concerns about jellyfish blooms (Mills 2001; Purcell 2005) and how they alter the energy flow through the food web (Brodeur et al. 2002) and affect zooplankton community dynamics (e.g., Kremer 1979) and fish growth and survival (Purcell and Arai 2001), the representation of…”
Gelatinous plankton: irregularities rule the world (sometimes) (2008, background): “…kp > kz B io m as s Time b B2 B2 Boero et al.: Marine ecosystems and gelatinous plankton sive occurrence heavily contributed to the collapse of fisheries in the whole basin, impairing fish recruitment via predation on fish larvae and on their food (Brodeur et al. 2002, Volovik 2004).”
Climate change and control of the southeastern Bering Sea pelagic ecosystem (2002, background): “the zooplankton standing stock around the Pribilof Islands in summer 1999, compared to a consumption of o1% in 1982 (Brodeur et al., 2002).”
Human forcing of the copepod–fish–jellyfish triangular trophic relationship (2011, background): “At the same time, there is concern that jellyfish populations have increased in various regions around the world (Arai, 2001; Graham, 2001; Brodeur et al., 2002; Parsons & Lalli, 2002; Attrill et al., 2007; Purcell et al., 2007).”
Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, methodology): “Large species require a large sampling volume and larger nets; semi-quantitative sampling of scyphomedusae and large hydromedusae is possible with fish and shrimp trawls and seines (e.g., Brodeur et al., 1999, 2002, 2008a, b; Graham, 2001; Purcell, 2003).”
Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “…(if it exists at all, as they are not mutually exclusive processes) reflects the fact that most studies these hypotheses are based on have been conducted in shelf waters (e.g. Brierley et al., 2001; Link & Ford, 2006; Lynam et al., 2006) or in semienclosed seas (e.g. Brodeur et al., 1999, 2002).”
Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “…much of the attention has focused on predation effects, since many jellyfish are obligate planktivores and most fish species have planktonic early life stages (Möller 1984; Purcell 1985, 1989; Fancett and Jenkins 1988; Purcell et al. 1994; Shiganova and Bulgakova 2000; Brodeur et al. 2002).”
Developing a simple, rapid method for identifying and monitoring jellyfish aggregations from the air (2006, methodology): “Indeed, recent studies have shown that large jellyfish such as the schyphomedusae represent a conspicuous component of the plankton, especially during the productive summer months (Brodeur et al. 2002).”
