A moveable feast: Beroe cucumis sensu Mayer, 1912 (Ctenophora; Beroida; Beroidae) preying on Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 (Ctenophora; Lobata; Bolinopsidae) off the Mediterranean coast of Israel.

2013 
In the winter months of 2012 and 2013 aggregations of the native comb jelly Beroe cucumis were observed and photographed along the Israeli coast preying on the invasive American comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi. It is suggested that native beroid may take part in controlling populations of the invasive ctenophore.
