The jellyfish buffet: jellyfish enhance seabird foraging opportunities by concentrating prey.
High levels of jellyfish biomass have been reported in marine ecosystems around the world, but understanding of their ecological role remains in its infancy. Jellyfish are generally thought to have indirect negative impacts on higher trophic-level predators, through changes in lower trophic pathways. However, high densities of jellyfish in the water column may affect the foraging behaviour of m...
متن کاملJELLYFISH BLOOMS Jellyfish in ecosystems, online databases, and ecosystem models
There are indications that pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores (‘jellyfish’) have increased in abundance throughout the world, or that outbreaks are more frequent, although much uncertainty surrounds the issue, due to the scarcity of reliable baseline data. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed for the individual increases or outbreaks that are better documented, but direct experimental or mani...
متن کاملJellyfish Mesogloea Collagen
The mesogloea collagen of a primitive animal, the jellyfish Stomolophus nomurai, belonging to the class Scyphozoa in the Coelenterata, was studied with respect to its chain structure. Most of the mesogloea collagen was solubilized by limited digestion with pepsin and isolated by selective precipitation at 0.9 M NaCl in 0.5 M acetic acid. Upon denaturation, the pepsinsolubilized collagen produce...

On day 19, vemurafenib therapy was discontinued, and within 7days thereafter, the feverhad improved, and theelectrolyte profile had normalized. Tumor assessment showed a major tumoral response. On day 29, vemurafenib treatment was restarted at half dose, leading within 21 days (day 50) to a relap...
متن کاملAutomatically Animating Jellyfish by Exploiting Radial Symmetry
As the field of computer graphics evolves, more diverse types of scenes are being rendered. Production-level works such as “Finding Nemo” [1] and “Shark Tale” [2] have sparked interest in oceanic settings. Although a fair amount of work exists regarding the animation of fish and other aquatic vertebrates, no notable papers have been published on invertebrate sea life. This paper proposes an ani...
