Asexual reproduction of Aurelia aurita polyps diminished under ambient stress conditions. (A) Daughter polyp generation of native polyps under control and future ocean conditions followed for 14 d. Scale bars correspond to 2 mm. (B) Budding was followed every 48 h for 14 d by monitoring the generation of daughter polyps and calculated as daughter polyp generation per week. Error bars depict the standard deviations from the calculated mean. (C) Strobilation of polyps was induced using 5 µM 5-methoxy-2-methyl indole. Photographs show the segmentation of polyps for native and sterile polyps under control conditions six days post-induction. Scale bars correspond to 2 mm. (D) Formation of strobilae was monitored daily and quantified by the number of segments formed per strobila. The numbers of released ephyrae were determined for 4 weeks. Error bars depict the standard deviations from the calculated mean
