Abstract: Do all animals sleep? Sleep has been observed in many vertebrates, and there is a growing body of evidence for sleep-like states in arthropods and nematodes [1-5]. Here we show that sleep is also present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2019.104845
Abstract: Anthropogenic disturbances may be increasing jellyfish populations globally. Epibenthic jellyfish are ideal organisms for studying this phenomenon due to their sessile lifestyle, broad geographic distribution, and prevalence in near-shore coastal environments. There are few studies,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.03.044
Abstract: Physiological responses of jellyfish to pollution are virtually overlooked. We measured the activity of two glycolytic enzymes (pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)), lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein and chlorophyll a content in the jellyfish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281787
Abstract: Knowledge of the reproductive strategy is a key prerequisite to predict population dynamics and potential invasiveness of both native and non-indigenous outbreak-forming species. In 2014 the Lessepsian upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda reached the harbor of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11020319
Abstract: Simple Summary Alien species are an important cause of biodiversity loss and changes to ecosystems. Harbors are hotspots for the introduction of these species, and, usually, the impacts and pathways of invasion of the host… read more here.
