• Enhancement of jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) populations by extensive aquaculture rafts in a coastal lagoon in Taiwan (2008, background): “Attrill et al. (2007) confirmed a significant negative correlation between nematocyst occurrence in continuous plankton recorder (CPR) samples and pH (range 8.”
• OCEAN CLIMATE CHANGE, PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITY RESPONSES, AND HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS: A FORMIDABLE PREDICTIVE CHALLENGE 1 (2010, background): “Similarly, Attrill et al. (2007) predict an increasing occurrence of jellyfish in the central North Sea over the next 100 years related to the increased Atlantic inflow to the northern North Sea.”
• Have jellyfish in the Irish Sea benefited from climate change and overfishing? (2011, background): “Attrill et al. (2007) and Attrill & Edwards (2008) also studied the CPR frequency of occurrence data for cnidarians in the North Sea and found no relationships to SST, but strong relationships to current inflows into the northern North Sea and weaker positive relationships with the NAOI.”
• Ocean oxygen minima expansions and their biological impacts (2010, background): “, 2001) and lowered pH (Attrill et al., 2007).”
• The jellyfish joyride: causes, consequences and management responses to a more gelatinous future. (2009, background): “Another aspect of climate change that could influence jellyfish is ocean acidification, a result of increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations dissolving into the oceans and alteringitscarbonatebalance.Arecentstudyinthecentral North Sea suggested that jellyfish increase in abundance as pH declines; th”
• Effects of temperature and light intensity on asexual reproduction of the scyphozoan, Aurelia aurita (L.) in Taiwan (2008, background): “…to the combinations of several factors (Purcell et al., 2000), including climate change, especially warming (Uye & Ueta, 2004; Purcell, 2005; Attrill et al., 2007), eutrophication (Arai, 2001), over fishing (Zaitsev, 1992; Kideys & Gücü, 1995; Ishii and Båmstedt 1998), and addition of…”
• Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, background): “Attrill et al. (2007) documented a positive relationship between jellyfish (nematocysts) in the North Sea and climatic factors (the North Atlantic Oscillation Index, NAOI) during 1958–2000.”
• Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “In our interpretation of CPR data we thus differ from Attrill et al. (2007) who considered coelenterate tissue to have originated only from scyphomedusae and hydromedusae (excluding siphonophores); these authors also ignored the presence of ctenophores in coelenterate tissue.”
• Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “In various ecosystems of the world, evidence is accumulating that gelatinous zooplankton populations are trending upward (Mills 2001; Purcell et al. 2001a; Attrill et al. 2007), in sharp contrast to many commercially important fish stocks (Mullon et al. 2005).”
• Ocean acidification: the other CO2 problem. (2009, background): “In the North Sea, one study has provided an interesting link between decreasing ocean pH and increasing jellyfish frequency since 1970 (Attrill et al. 2007).”
• 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).”
