The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Direct and indirect trophic interactions of Aurelia sp. (Scyphozoa) in a stratified marine environment (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea) (2007, background): “Despite many field and laboratory studies there are still controversies regarding the prey and feeding of Aurelia (Sullivan et al. 1994; Graham and Kroutil 2001) and consequently their effects on the plankton food web.”
Jellyfish in ecosystems, online databases, and ecosystem models (2008, background): “Even within a species, diet may change simply due to an increase in size ( Graham & Kroutil, 2001 ).”
Ecological and economic implications of a tropical jellyfish invader in the Gulf of Mexico (2003, methodology): “We followed the basic procedure of Graham and Kroutil (2001) and excised the guts to collect undigested and partially digested material on a 200-µm mesh sieve.”
Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “…aequorea are similar to diets previously reported for A. aurita, C. capillata and A. victoria, respectively, which contained a variety of holo- and merozooplankton (Fancett 1988, Brewer 1989, Purcell 1989, Sullivan et al. 1994, Behrends & Schneider 1995, Graham & Kroutil 2001, Ishii & Tanaka 2001).”
