AbstractMajor consequences of thermal changes in oceans globally include species movement into previously unoccupied regions and the proliferation of species that can tolerate a broad range of environments. In the oceans, jellyfish populations are increasing and expanding into new regions, which can have dramatic impacts on fisheries, tourism due to stings, and how nutrients are cycled in coastal ecosystems. However, the ability to understand how, why, and if jellyfish populations are increasing and the
