Webinar Presented by: Dr. Beatrix Beisner, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Quebec at Montreal.
Many people have recently noticed small jellyfish floating around in summer in lakes. These are mostly a single invasive species known officially as Craspedacusta sowerbii or sometimes as the peach-blossom jellyfish. If you have seen them, you may think you are seeing things, but you probably aren’t. I will discuss some of the known history of this invasive species in North American lakes and why they are being noticed more often now. Scientists still have a lot to learn about these organisms, but we have some knowledge that I will discuss in this webinar. I will provide some insight into their life histories and ecology and how they might be affecting food webs in our lakes.
