Increasing jellyfish populations: trends in Large Marine Ecosystems (2012, background): “Numerous Hay et al. (1990) Lynam et al. (2004, 2005) Medium - low 0 Very high Low Low a”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “…rise and fall with ocean basinwide climate oscillations (El Niño Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, North Pacific Decadal Oscillation) (Anderson & Piatt, 1999; Ottersen et al., 2001; Raskoff, 2001; Austin, 2002; Beaugrand, 2003; Lynam et al., 2004, 2005; Purcell & Decker, 2005).”
Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, background): “…abundance of gelatinous organisms has been explained by the fishery pressure that has reduced grazing on their larvae (Brierly et al. 2001, Brodeur et al. 2002, Heymans et al. 2004, Lynam et al. 2005), with similar arguments being made for other, smaller systems (e.g. Mills 2001, Xian et al. 2005).”
Evidence for impacts by jellyfish on North Sea herring recruitment (2005, background): “When a high NAOI prevails, jellyfish are expected to be more abundant north of Scotland and west of the Orkneys (Lynam et al. 2005), and there is likely to be less spatial overlap between the medusae and herring larvae.”
Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “When jellyfish bloom they have a pronounced impact on an ecosystem (Brodeur et al., 2002) and its pelagic fisheries (Möller, 1984; Travis, 1993; Lynam et al., 2005b).”
Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “The mechanisms behind these increases in gelatinous populations are open to speculation but may include climate change (Brodeur et al. 1999; Atkinson et al. 2004; Lynam et al. 2004, 2005; Purcell and Decker 2005; Purcell 2005; Link and Ford 2006; Attrill et al. 2007), species introductions (Shigan”
