Are Jellies Taking Over the World? Are we headed for global jelly domination? Lucas Brotz and his colleagues at the University of British Columbia are finding that jelly populations appear to be increasing in coastal ecosystems worldwide. They collected information from the past 60 years to map out the changes in global jelly populations. This research is unique because they used information from researchers and fisherman (scientific and anecdotal data). It's too early to say whether jellies are taking over the world. The researchers say more studies, over a longer period of time, have to be done to know for sure. Learn more during Jelly Invasion, a special Vancouver Aquarium exhibit on now until November 12, 2013.
