[3] Species reside in pelagic environments in southern European seas, where they impact ecological balances of ecosystem due to resource competitions and rapid reproduction patterns.

[5] Juvenile individuals in the Cotylorhiza genus were found to have higher feeding rates than other jellyfish of the Cepheidae family, such as Rhizostoma pulmo.

[2] In the medusa stage, sperm and egg cells release into the water and fertilize to form polyps on benthic substrates.

[7] Jellyfish tend to be more abundant in spring seasons, as the temperature and resource concentrations are ideal for an increase in reproduction during this time.

[10] Blooms of jellyfish may also impact economic stability in surrounding communities, due to overfishing which alters trophic processes.
