Surviving but not thriving: inconsistent responses of zooxanthellate jellyfish polyps to ocean warming and future UV-B scenarios
Description: Complex changes to UV radiation at the Earth's surface are occurring concurrently with ocean warming. Despite few empirical tests, jellyfish are hypothesised to be increasing in some parts of the world because they are robust to environmental stressors. Here researchers examine the effects of UV-B and ocean warming projections on zooxanthellate jellyfish polyps. [Source: Nature Scientific Reports]
