• Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 (2010, background): “In its northern temperate habitats (Rhode Island and Maryland), temperatures range from 1C in the winter to 30C in the summer and salinities range from B 2t o 32. The annual peak in biomass of northern M. leidyi populations is in mid-summer to fall, which have occurred earlier with rising temperatur”
• Mesozooplankton features in a frontal area off northern Patagonia (Argentina) during spring 1995 and 1998 (2002, background): “Furthermore, recent studies have documented early spring appearances of this species that correlate with a climatic warming trend (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
• Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea (2008, background): “In contrast, Sullivan et al. (Sullivan et al. 2001) and Costello et al. (Costello et al. 2006) found no clear correlation between winter (January, February) temperatures and the spring Mnemiopsis bloom date for Narragansett Bay, USA, but suggested a significant correlation with spring temperatures.”
• Numerical increases and distributional shifts of Chrysaora quinquecirrha (Desor) and Aurelia aurita (Linné) (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2001, background): “Large-scale climate fluctuations may serve as a major source of the interannual variability in jellyfish populations of the Gulf of Mexico as has been identified in the Bering Sea (Brodeur et al., 1999) and in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
• Seasonal refugia, shoreward thermal amplification, and metapopulation dynamics of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island (2006, background): “The 2uC increase represents an average annual temperature increase at Newport, near the mouth of Narragansett Bay (Sullivan et al. 2001).”
• Effects of climate on relative predation by scyphomedusae and ctenophores on copepods in Chesapeake Bay during 1987‐2000 (2005, background): “Warmer conditions in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, during the 1980s were correlated with earlier appearances of M. leidyi than in the 1970s and before (Sullivan et al. 2001).”
• Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “Records from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, in the northern part of its range, mark the dates of first appearance of the ctenophore since 1950, and periodic intensive studies provide more detailed data on ctenophore appearance, abundance, and water temperature (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
• A physical context for gelatinous zooplankton aggregations: a review (2001, unknown): “Within the gelatinous zooplankton, perhaps only pelagic tunicates (Alldredge, 1982; Deibel, 1985; Purcell & Madin, 1991), ctenophores (Kremer, 1994; Sullivan et al., 2001) and siphonophores (Pagès et al., 2001) also have reproductive life-history characteristics that allow population responses to…”
• Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “Climatic factors have been previously shown to affect scyphomedusa and ctenophore population sizes in the Mediterranean Sea (Goy et al. 1989), in Chesapeake Bay (Cargo & King 1990, Purcell et al. 1999), in the Bering Sea (Brodeur et al. 1999) and in Narragansett Bay (Sullivan et al. 2001).”
• Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi (2010, background): “…warm months in both introduced regions (Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea) and native waters (e.g. Narragansett Bay and Chesapeake Bay in NW Atlantic) (Shiganova 1998; Purcell et al. 2001; Sullivan et al. 2001; Kideys et al. 2005a, b, 2008; Roohi et al. 2003, 2008a, b; Javidpour et al. 2009).”
• Pelagic coelenterates and eutrophication: a review (2001, unknown): “Some of these other anthropogenic activities are discussed in this volume by Mills (2001), Purcell & Arai (2001) and Sullivan et al. (2001).”
• Predicting the distribution of the scyphomedusa Chrysaora quinquecirrha in Chesapeake Bay (2007, background): “Evidence has shown increases in jellyfish populations in various locations (Anderson & Piatt 1999, Brodeur et al. 1999, Mills 2001, Sullivan et al. 2001) and so their impacts are probably increasing.”
• First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 (Ctenophora; Lobata; Mnemiidae) off the Mediterranean coast of Israel (2009, background): “…factors believed to rein in the species’ population size are temperature and prey availability, yet the high sea surface temperature and salinity and paucity of plankton in the SE Levant are far from the values deemed optimal for the species’ reproduction (Kremer 1994; Sullivan et al. 2001).”
