Revealing hidden diversity among upside-down jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Cassiopea): distinct evidence allows the change of status of a neglected variety and the description of a new species

Edgar Gamero-Mora et al.

Summary: This study analyzes Cassiopea medusae specimens from the Western Pacific and identifies two distinct species based on morphological and molecular evidence. It also provides new insights into the systematics of Cassiopea and highlights the underestimation of species richness in the Western Pacific region.

The Presence of a Substrate Strengthens The Jet Generated by Upside-Down Jellyfish

Nicholas Battista et al.

Summary: Upside-down jellyfish, commonly found in warm and shallow parts of the oceans, have a unique feeding mechanism where they rest upside down against the substrate. The presence of the substrate enhances the generation of jets and increases the volume of water sampled during each pulse.

Increased nutrient availability correlates with increased growth of the benthic jellyfish Cassiopea spp.

Elizabeth W. Stoner et al.

Summary: Jellyfish are an important yet underappreciated food source in marine food webs. Human activities, such as nutrient loading, can influence the abundance and size structure of jellyfish populations, which in turn affects marine trophic dynamics. This study found that elevated nutrient availability promoted the growth of certain jellyfish taxa, while reduced nutrient availability led to smaller jellyfish sizes. These findings highlight the potential implications of human-derived nutrients on jellyfish populations and demonstrate the influence of environmental conditions on the size structure of jellyfish populations.

The utility of jellyfish as marine biomonitors

Michelle A. Templeman et al.

Summary: Jellyfish are abundant in coastal waters and can be used as biomonitors of contaminants. Upside-down jellyfish, in particular, are potential candidates for monitoring short-term pollution pulses. Research demonstrates that jellyfish, including Cassiopea species, have the potential to be valuable for monitoring coastal impacts.

Symbiotic microalgae do not increase susceptibility of zooxanthellate medusae (Cassiopea xamachana) to herbicides

Carolina Olguin-Jacobson et al.

Summary: Research on the effects of zooxanthellate and azooxanthellate Cassiopea xamachana medusae exposed to herbicide atrazine showed that although atrazine inhibited photosynthesis, zooxanthellae were not expelled from the host, and the presence of zooxanthellae did not increase the susceptibility of the medusae to the herbicide.

High photosynthetic plasticity may reinforce invasiveness of upside-down zooxanthellate jellyfish in Mediterranean coastal waters

Marta Mammone et al.

Summary: Ecological profiling of non-native species is crucial for predicting their potential dispersal and invasiveness globally. In this study, Cassiopea jellyfish were found to have high photosynthetic performance and plasticity to adapt to changes in light exposure, indicating their potential to be successful invaders in a warming Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, differences in chlorophyll content and P:R ratio suggest potential impacts of different irradiance levels on the jellyfish's physiology.

Fieldable Environmental DNA Sequencing to Assess Jellyfish Biodiversity in Nearshore Waters of the Florida Keys, United States

Cheryl Lewis Ames et al.

Summary: Advancements in molecular sequencing technology and portable laboratory equipment have allowed researchers to conduct real-time gene-based biodiversity assessments of aquatic ecosystems. This study successfully developed a workflow and portable kit for fieldable environmental DNA sequencing (FeDS) to identify 53 medusozoan taxa in the coastal waters of the Upper and Lower Florida Keys. The study also revealed the presence of venomous box jellyfish, potentially introduced stalked jellyfish, and a likely cryptic species of upside-down jellyfish.

Benthic jellyfish dominate water mixing in mangrove ecosystems

David M. Durieux et al.

Summary: The upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea sp. plays a significant role in water column mixing within its shallow natural habitat; it continuously pumps water vertically to create a significant contribution to mixing, resulting in turnover of the water column every 15 minutes at median population density. Additionally, the release of nutrient-rich benthic porewater further emphasizes Cassiopea sp.'s role as an ecosystem engineer in mangrove habitats.

Different Physiology in the Jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana and C. frondosa in Florida Bay

William K. Fitt et al.

Summary: The jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana and C. frondosa co-occur within some habitats in the Florida Keys, but the frequency of occurrence is low. Differences in their symbiotic relationships with dinoflagellates in the Symbiodiniaceae family, as well as variations in adaptability and life history traits, likely contribute to their habitat preferences.
