Predicting the distribution of the scyphomedusa Chrysaora quinquecirrha in Chesapeake Bay (2007, background): “Increasing bloom frequency and extent may be linked to climatic (reviewed in Purcell 2005) and/or anthropogenic effects (Arai 2001, Parsons & Lalli 2003), and understanding these linkages will be required to predict blooms in the future.”
Revision of the genus Chrysaora Peron & Lesueur, 1810 (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) (2010, background): “, Purcell, J.E. & Chang, H.-H. (2009) Effects of temperature and light intensity on asexual reproduction of the scyphozoan, Aurelia aurita (L.”
Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “…populations in Alaskan waters; however, recent analyses show dramatic increases in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea, possibly resulting from climate regime shifts (Anderson & Piatt 1999, Brodeur et al. 1999, 2002) or reduction of fish populations by over harvesting (Parsons & Lalli 2003).”
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research (2013, background): “We thus propose that only pelagic Medusozoa and Ctenophora be considered “jellyfish” as they are more similar in their nervous and digestive systems, have a generally common habitat (coastal and shelf), their impacts on humans are generally shared and their likely responses to anthropogenic drivers ”
Population biomass, feeding, respiration and growth rates, and carbon budget of the scyphomedusa Aurelia aurita in the Inland Sea of Japan (2005, unknown): “Currently there is concern that they are becoming more prevalent in a variety of regions around the world (Brodeur et al., 1999, 2002; Graham, 2001; Shiganova et al., 2001; Parsons and Lalli, 2002).”
Unusual population explosion of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) in East Asian waters (2006, background): “Its life cycle is essentially the same as that reported for several other rhizostome species (Paspaleff 1938, Calder 1973, 1982, Ding & Chen 1981, Lotan et al. 1992).”
Gelatinous plankton: irregularities rule the world (sometimes) (2008, background): “…anthropogenic perturbations, such as global warming, eutrophication, overfishing (Mills 1995, CIESM 2001, Purcell et al. 2001, 2007, Daskalov 2002, Parsons & Lalli 2002, Purcell 2005, Tatsuki 2005) or the increase of available hard substrates (e.g. dams, artificial reefs, shells from bivalve…”
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).”
Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “2005), removal of commercially important fish stocks (Parsons and Lalli 2002; Lynam et al. 2006), or some interaction of these factors (Purcell et al.”
