THEME SECTION Jellyfish bloom research: advances and challenges Editors: R. Condon, J. Costello, V. Fuentes, F. Lombard, C. Lucas, J. Purcell, K. Sutherland This Theme Section provides a broad overview of the latest research on jellyfish, with a special focus on jellyfish bloom dynamics. The articles cover important topics including jellyfish distribution, life stage physiology, socioeconomic impacts of blooms, and fundamental aspects of the ecology of gelatinous species in marine food webs.
