20.500.12556/DiRROS-19967 Recent changes (2013-2017) in scyphomedusan fauna in the Boka Kotorska Bay, Montenegro (Southeast Adriatic) Novonastale promjene (2013-2017) faune režnjaka u Bokokotorskom zaljevu, Crna Gora (jugoistočni Jadran) A semi- quantitative time series (2013-2017) was used to present the recent events of scyphomedusae appearance and abundance in the Boka Kotorska Bay, Montenegro, Southeast Adriatic. Six meroplanktonic species were recorded: Aurelia spp, Chrysaora hysoscella, Cotylorhiza tuberculata¸ Discomedusa lobata, Drymonema dalmatinum and Rhizostoma pulmo. Among them, C. hysoscella and D. lobata dominated in the water column during winter and spring, forming dense aggregations in March and May, and February to May, respectively. Our description of the D. lobata blooms are actually the first known records of blooms for this species. C. tuberculata was observed in the Bay principally in August and September. The bloom was occurred only in 2017, being the first information of C. tuberculata mass appearance in this area. We hypothesized that global warming phenomena could trigger the observed changes, and in this respect, long-term trends of sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations were analysed. The scyphomedusae blooms coincided with high positive SST anomalies, noted in the last seven years for this area. To better understand the mechanisms underlying changes in their phenology and abundance, detailed studies on benthic stages in the Bay are essential. jellyfish blooms phenology sea surface temperature Mediterranean Sea true false true Angleški jezik Hrvaški jezik Neznano 2024-07-31 15:17:02 2024-07-31 15:17:02 2024-08-02 03:40:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 str. 25-39 no. 1 Vol. 60 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2019-06-15 574.5 0001-5113 5125455 RAZ_Violic_Ivana_2019.pdf RAZ_Violic_Ivana_2019.pdf 1 A4F788EBBE1F53F06C17F2127CDDDBFC e7922cbd81b19b0ed71b7188bf1c3bdb6ba08197db507755fad256a9a6c89b3b d8cf26d4-4f2e-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27724 https://doi.org/10.32582/aa.60.1.2 0 e329a7d0-4f2e-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27725 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
