Pulse rate model. A multiple linear regression correlating bell pulsation rate to (A) log of jellyfish diameter (R2 = 0.34), (B) water temperature (R2 = 0.42), and (C) salinity (R2 = 0.07). This model explained a majority of the variation in bell pulse rates (n = 330, R2 = 0.57). Pulse rate correlated negatively with the natural log of diameter, positively with temperature, and no correlation was observed with salinity.
