Increasing jellyfish populations: trends in Large Marine Ecosystems (2012, background): “There are also recent suggestions that jellyfish may be synanthropic, specifically, benefiting from human interactions with the oceans, and thus may be increasing globally (Mills, 2001; Purcell et al., 2007; Pauly et al., 2009a; Richardson et al., 2009).”
Questioning the Rise of Gelatinous Zooplankton in the World's Oceans (2012, neutral): “…is arguably more energetically efficient than specialist raptorial predation, especially when low concentrations and a patchy distribution of food predominate, as in the past, present, and probably future open ocean (Acuña 2001, Ducklow et al. 2009) and in more turbid waters (Eiane et al. 1999).”
Fauna of the Mediterranean Hydrozoa (2004, background): “Beyond that basic life cycle-driven seasonal change in numbers, several other kinds of events appear to be increasing the numbers of jellies present in some ecosystems (Mills, 2001).”
Planktonic cnidarian distribution and feeding of Pelagia noctiluca in the NW Mediterranean Sea (2010, background): “This is cause for concern because jellyfish cause serious problems in some economic sectors and in the management of natural resources (Mills, 2001).”
Numerical increases and distributional shifts of Chrysaora quinquecirrha (Desor) and Aurelia aurita (Linné) (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2001, background): “Long-term ecosystem change that favors jellyfish has been the focus of recent discussion since increased jellyfish production may be symptomatic of degraded ecosystem health (Caddy, 1993; Mills, 1995, 2001; Pauly et al., 1998).”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “The question of whether jellyfish and ctenophore populations are increasing is an important one (Mills, 2001).”
The broad-scale distribution of five jellyfish species across a temperate coastal environment (2007, background): “Indeed, Mills (2001) remarked that research efforts should be redirected towards the study of the population dynamics of some of the common and abundant jellyfish species, about which we know next to nothing beyond their names. An area where this problem has recently come to light is the Irish and C”
A review and synthesis on the systematics and evolution of jellyfish blooms: advantageous aggregations and adaptive assemblages (2008, background): “…from New Guinea in Hawaii (Holland et al., 2004), Aurelia from Japan in Spinnaker Bay, Long Beach, and San Francisco Bay, California (Greenberg et al., 1996; Gershwin, 2001; Dawson et al., 2005). c. Environmental change can inhibit blooms of blooming species and stimulate others (Mills, 2001).”
Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “…effort has been expended to examine factors underlying the increased occurrence and magnitude of blooms of gelatinous zooplankton in recent years (Mills 2001; Parsons and Lalli 2002; Purcell 2005; Purcell et al. 2007), there have been few attempts to examine ecosystem consequences of the…”
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).”
Linkage between crustacean zooplankton and aquatic bacteria (2010, background): “Bacterial decomposition of jellyfish is also of particular interest because of the perceived increase in occurrence of jellyfish ‘blooms’ worldwide (Mills 2001, Purcell et al. 2007).”
Feeding on survival-food: gelatinous plankton as a source of food for anchovies (2001, background): “some of the cumulative effects of these impacts (Mills, 2001).”
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research (2013, background): “…(Greve and Parsons, 1977; Parsons, 1979; Banse, 1990), was fuelled by reviews of http://repository.uwc.ac.za 5 the 2000s (Parsons and Lalli, 2002; Mills, 2001; Purcell et al., 2007; Richardson et al., 2009) and has been followed up with some more quantitative analyses more recently (Brotz et…”
Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “A number of geographically scattered studies have indicated that blooms of jellyfish, especially pelagic cnidarians, are increasing in frequency and persisting longer than usual (Mills, 2001; Purcell, 2005; Link & Ford, 2006; Purcell et al., 2007).”
