A jellyfish bloom is defined as a substantial increase in a jellyfish population within a short time period; the result of a higher reproduction rate. [2] Since jellyfish naturally have high reproductive rates, high-density blooms can occur as a result of both behavioral and ecological causes.
The jellyfish tree presents a conundrum in that the seeds seem unable to germinate in the wild; no young plants have been observed in the natural stands. [8] Successful cultivation in botanic gardens has occurred in very humid conditions, but high humidity is unlikely in the exposed habitat where these trees are found in the wild. [8]
Craspedacusta sowerbii or peach blossom jellyfish [1] is a species of freshwater hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa cnidarian. Hydromedusan jellyfish differ from scyphozoan jellyfish because they have a muscular, shelf-like structure called a velum on the ventral surface, attached to the bell margin.
Ohio's biodiversity continues to be threatened due to a variety of causes. The latest Rare Native Ohio Plants Status List cites 271 are endangered. Native plant update: Of Ohio's 1,800 native ...
Of all the birds that fly north to Ohio each spring, scarlet tanagers could be considered the most recognizable. "They have this rich, almost eye-popping scarlet body with black wings," Emmert ...
Geranium maculatum, an Ohio native, is a relative of the common bedding geranium (Pelargonium × hortorum). This list includes plants native and introduced to the state of Ohio, designated (N) and (I), respectively. Varieties and subspecies link to their parent species.
The potential worsening of jellyfish blooms as a result of human activities has driven new research into the influence of dead zones on jelly populations. The primary concern is the potential for dead zones to serve as breeding grounds for jelly populations as a result of the hypoxic conditions driving away competition for resources and common ...
Amid concerns of algal blooms, the Ohio EPA reported Tuesday that 86% of the state's major rivers are meeting water quality standards.
