Medusae of Scyphozoa, the jellyfishes, stand out because of their large body size and eventual abundance in coastal areas, where they occupy distinct and prominent niches. These animals were the earliest metazoans to develop muscle-powered swimming. The simplicity of their muscle tissue limits the force production, however scyphomedusae evolved locomotion strategies of low energy costs, a…
Over the last two decades, considerable attention has turned to scyphomedusae ecology due to the apparent increase in certain populations. Their feeding rates are high and they can deplete planktonic populations causing drastic consequences for the economy and the ecosystem. Data about feeding habits of medusae of Rhizostomeae, which dominate in tropical and subtropical coastal environmen…
Medusae of the class Scyphozoa, the true jellyfishes, stand out because of their large body size and eventual abundance in coastal areas, where they occupy distinct and prominent niches. These animals are among the earliest metazoans to develop muscle-powered swimming. Although their simple muscle tissue limits force production, scyphomedusae evolved locomotion of low energy costs, along …
Swimming and feeding are coupled features of Scyphozoa medusae. The contractions of the bell, which provide the forward motion, also produce flows towards the feeding surfaces at the oral arms and tentacles. Patterns of swimming vary among the scyphozoan groups. Rhizostomeae jellyfish are conspicuous components of tropical and subtropical coastal areas with distinguishable swimming patter…
