SciShow Explains How Jellyfish Sting Without Touching You!
I Don’t Think You’re Ready for this Jelly!
SciShow’s Olivia Gordon discusses our recent discovery about Upside-Down Jellyfish and how they sting. This jellyfish might look kind of unassuming, but it’s got some surprising long-range weaponry to catch its prey!
Upside-down jellyfish release venom-filled ‘bombs’ in their snot
In a fascinating report by Nicoletta Lanese for Live Science, learn why the water surrounding upside-down jellyfish often stings to the touch. Scientists finally have the answer! Read the full story here
Jellyfish Can Sting You Without Even a Single Touch
Scientists have found that a species of the jellyfish throw venom grenades to create stinging water to snare their preys. The Cassiopea xamachana jellyfish, found in shallow waters around Florida, the Caribbean and Micronesia, is a frequent nuisance to snorkelers and surfers who appear to get stung without touching the creatures. It was thought that the stings came from detached tentacles or younger specimens. But a team from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory realized that Cassiopea had in fact evolved a novel way of hunting without tentacles.
2019 London Calling – Field-Forward Sequencing with Oxford Nanopore Technology
Jellyfish expert Dr. Cheryl Ames presents at Oxford Naopre’s London Calling Aquatic Ecosystems plenary session. Dr. Ames discusses the work of her team at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory using eDNA to categorize jellyfish diversity for environmental monitoring, sting prevention (affecting both combat divers in the Navy and recreational divers), to investigate biodiversity in the gulfstream, and also aid public aquariums.
