[HTML][HTML] Evidence of microplastics from benthic jellyfish (Cassiopea xamachana) in Florida estuaries
Plastic pollution is a concern in many nearshore ecosystems, and it is critical to understand
how microplastics (plastics< 5 mm in length) affect nearshore marine biota. Here, we report …

Stable isotopes as tracers of trophic interactions in marine mutualistic symbioses
C Ferrier‐Pagès, MC Leal - Ecology and evolution, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Mutualistic nutritional symbioses are widespread in marine ecosystems. They involve the
association of a host organism (algae, protists, or marine invertebrates) with symbiotic …

Host starvation and in hospite degradation of algal symbionts shape the heat stress response of the Cassiopea-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis
Background Global warming is causing large-scale disruption of cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae

Review of the diversity, traits, and ecology of zooxanthellate jellyfishes
Many marine organisms form photosymbioses with zooxanthellae, but some, such as the
medusozoans, are less well known. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the …
