    Invasive species part 2 – The comb jelly Mnemiopsis leydyi

    The small but spectacularly beautiful comb jelly Mnemiopsis leydyi, can reproduce at a dismaying speed, and copes with warm and cold water and even different amounts of salinity. And when it spreads to areas where it isn’t naturally found, it can cause devastating damage. As in the Black Sea in the 1980s.
