Deep Dive Papers: Asexual reproduction strategies in the moon jellyfish Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)
Tumblr media
(X) | Published: 12 January 2023
Key Findings:
This paper investigated the asexual reproduction strategies of the moon jellyfish Aurelia, which is known to have both sexual and asexual reproduction.
The authors found that Aurelia primarily reproduces asexually through a process called strobilation, in which the adult jellyfish produces small polyps that eventually develop into juvenile jellyfish.
Strobilation was found to be influenced by a range of environmental factors, including temperature, light, and food availability, with higher temperatures and more food leading to more frequent strobilation.
The study also identified a previously unknown asexual reproduction strategy in Aurelia, in which small fragments of the jellyfish can break off and develop into juvenile jellyfish.
This fragmentation process was found to be more common in Aurelia populations in more disturbed environments, suggesting that it may be an adaptation to environmental stress.
The authors note that the ability of Aurelia to reproduce asexually through strobilation and fragmentation allows for rapid population growth and may contribute to its success as a dominant jellyfish species in many marine environments.

Fish-uary Day 12 and 13: Little Fish (Moon Jelly) and Big Fish (Pacific Sea Nettle)
I know, I know, jellyfish aren't fish, I simply wanted an excuse to draw some fashion. That's why Moon and Sea Nettle aren't merfolk.

Apparently I never shared these here? Well, better late than never! :D
I had the honor to illustrate the cover and a page for the second The Sea Unseen zine last year.
The cover features surgeonfishes, butterflyfishes, and moorish idols and it was inspired by the reef photos of @cabalrive
The page illustration features harbour porpoises and moon jellies.
I really enjoy painting marine animals, and you should check out @seaunseenzine for more incredible art from many talented artists that collaborated on this project! 💙
