Ontogenetic transitions, biomechanical trade-offs and macroevolution of scyphozoan medusae swimming patterns

Abstract Ephyrae, the early stages of scyphozoan jellyfish, possess a conserved morphology among species. However, ontogenetic transitions lead to morphologically different shapes among scyphozoan lineages, with important consequences for swimming biomechanics, bioenergetics and ecology. We used hig...
