because they will not have sufficient time to adapt to the changes in seawater chemistry. The world’scoral reefs, which providehabitatto many species and are often regarded by ecologists as centres ofbiodiversityin the oceans, could decline and even disappear if ocean acidification intensifies and...
Both warming and deep-sea mining are expected to lead to a significant loss in biodiversity of pelagic animals and associated ecosystem services4. This is of particular concern as deep pelagic fauna play a vital role in the provisioning of commercially important fish stocks such as tuna, nutrient...
Therefore, in order to instantly determine the possible types of jellyfish, DNA barcode data analysis was conducted using molecular markers. DNA chip technology is an efficient method for species-level identification and, as such, will contribute powerfully to taxonomic and biodiversity research. In ...
level of information. That’s why it’s great to look at all those different levels and see what is similar and what’s changed to really help us understand this very complicated question. Jellyfish are a great system to do this because they’re so amenable to these types of experiments....
a payload,” Priya said. “They inhabit every major oceanic area of the world and are capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures and in fresh and salt waters. Most species are found in shallow coastal waters, but some have been found in depths 7,000 meters below sea level.” ...
jellyfish; biodiversity; harmful jellyfish; Chironex; Linuche; new record; Sabah; Malaysia1. Introduction Jellyfish play an important part in the ocean’s ecosystems, not only acting as intermediary predators, which distribute the energy within the same trophic level of the food chain [1], ...

Individuals of each taxon were photographed alive in a glass aquarium and examined under a stereomicroscope (Leica, 16−40× magnification). Individuals were identified, mostly to genus level (e.g. Kramp 1959, Mills & Haddock 2007), and counted. Photographed specimens were fixed in 99% ...
Twelve years ago, the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, originating from the North American East Coast, appeared in northern European waters. Based on the first comprehensive data collection on the occurrence of this invasive jellyfish in Europe, scientists
