The perception that anthropogenic stressors cause jellyfish blooms is widespread within the
scientific literature and media but robust evidence in support of these claims appears scarce …

Over recent decades, man's expanding influence on the oceans has begun to cause change
in some regions, including in the Mediterranean Sea. New proliferations of jellyfish may be …

Jellyfish blooms are generally attributed to a biological response to the environment,
neglecting the role of transport patterns in redistributing existing populations. Here, we use …

Jellyfish have the potential to dominate the pelagic biomass of marine ecosystems, thereby
