Popis: Jellyfish are critical components of marine ecosystems. Whether variations in their population size are driven by human or climate mediated processes is a matter of current debate and challenge in biological oceanography. Here we gathered pluriannual information of Mediterranean jellyfish to synthesize basin scale trends of jellyfish outbreaks, their strength and frequency, over last decades, and to quantify their potential link with hemispheric-wade climate forcing.
