Patterns of jellyfish abundance in the North Atlantic (2008, background): “Cestida) or are found in both coastal and oceanic environments: some species of lobate and cydippid ctenophores can be very common in shelf waters ( Shiganova et al., 2001; Gibbons et al., 2003).”
Alien Marine Species in the Mediterranean - the 100 'Worst Invasives' and their Impact (2006, unknown): “Present in Greece, Italy (1919-21), Spain (1921), Cyprus (1988), Al-bania, Turkey, Malta, Bosnia, Slovenia, but no impact has been reported.”
First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 in the Baltic Sea (2006, background): “In the Black Sea M. leidyi begins to reproduce at water temperatures above 21oC, reaches a peak at 23oC and continues until the water temperature drops below 14oC in autumn (Shiganova et al. 2001).”
Multiple introductions and invasion pathways for the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Eurasia (2011, background): “From the Black Sea, it spread north to the Sea of Azov, south to the Sea of Marmara and then to the Aegean Sea (Shiganova et al. 2001; Shiganova 1993; Kideys and Niermann 1994).”
Oceanographic habitat, growth and mortality of larval anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the northern Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean) (2007, background): “For example, pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores may compete with zooplanktivorous fish and fish larvae (Purcell and Arai 2001) and the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, which is known to strongly compete with larval anchovy for food in the Black Sea (Gordina et al. 2005), has also been sighted ”
Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 (2010, background): “…M. leidyi and zooplankton abundances (reviewed in Purcell, 1988); when M. leidyi were abundant, clearance rates of the ctenophores were sufficient to reduce zooplankton populations (reviewed in Purcell et al., 2001; Shiganova et al., 2001; see also Purcell & Decker, 2005; Riisgård et al., 2007).”
A coupled plankton-anchovy population dynamics model assessing nonlinear controls of anchovy and gelatinous biomass in the Black Sea (2008, background): “Shiganova et al. (2001) reported low spring and late-summer production due to low adult overwintering survival rates under severe winter conditions.”
Marine Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea – History, Distribution and Ecology (2009, background): “The dramatic effect of the Asian whelk Rapana venosa on the Black Sea fauna (Zolotarev 1996), and of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi on the Black Sea plankton, have not been reported in the Mediterranean sites where these two species have been recorded ( Shiganova et al. 2001; see Chap.”
First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 (Ctenophora; Lobata; Mnemiidae) off the Mediterranean coast of Israel (2009, background): “No decrease in mesozooplankton biomass has been observed in the Mediterranean Sea following the appearance of M. leidyi in the area (Shiganova et al. 2001a, 2004a).”
The first occurrence of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the North Sea (2007, background): “Secondly, according to Shiganova et al. (2001), M. leidyi does not survive at temperatures lower than 4°C in the Black Sea.”
Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “…was probably due to the dramatic evidence of severe ecological and economic impacts of species introduction, as paradigmatically demonstrated by the voracious ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, leading in a few years to the collapse of the Black Sea anchovy fishery (reviewed by Shiganova et al. 2001).”
Deliberate introduction of invisible invaders: A critical appraisal of the impact of microbial inoculants on soil microbial communities (2020, background): “For instance, Barcellos et al. (2007) and Silva Batista et al. (2007) observed high rates of horizontal transfer of symbiotic genes from the inoculants Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium elkanii to indigenous rhizobia in the Cerrado.”
Seasonal refugia, shoreward thermal amplification, and metapopulation dynamics of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island (2006, background): “The importance of Mnemiopsis leidyi as a planktonic predator has been documented by a large body of research on its feeding capabilities (Kremer 1975; Reeve et al. 1978; Waggett and Costello 1999) and trophic impacts (Kremer 1979; Shiganova et al. 2001; Sullivan et al. 2001).”
