Intro -- Contents -- Preface -- Identification key for young ephyrae: a first step for early detection of jellyfish blooms -- Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 -- Effects of pH on asexual reproduction and statolith formation of the scyphozoan, Aurelia labiata -- Effects of low salinity on settlement and strobilation of Scyphozoa (Cnidaria): Is the lion's mane Cyanea capillata (L.) able to reproduce in the brackish Baltic Sea? -- Effects of El Niño-driven environmental variability on black turtle migration to Peruvian foraging grounds -- Recurrence of bloom-forming scyphomedusae: wavelet analysis of a 200-year time series -- Behavior of Nemopsis bachei L. Agassiz, 1849 medusae in the presence of physical gradients and biological thin layers -- Avoidance of hydrodynamically mixed environments by Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata) in open-sea populations from Patagonia, Argentina -- Response of Chrysaora quinquecirrha medusae to low temperature -- Use of respiration rates of scyphozoan jellyfish to estimate their effects on the food web -- Planktonic cnidarian distribution and feeding of Pelagia noctiluca in the NW Mediterranean Sea -- Bioenergetics and growth in the ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus -- Degradation of the Adriatic medusa Aurelia sp. by ambient bacteria -- Identification of jellyfish from Continuous Plankton Recorder samples -- Separation and analysis of different types of nematocysts from Cyanea capillata (L.) medusae -- Characterisation of neurotoxic polypeptides from Cyanea capillata medusae (Scyphozoa) -- Gill cell toxicity of northern boreal scyphomedusae Cyanea capillata and Aurelia aurita measured by an in vitro cell assay.
