• Description:
  Doliolids are common gelatinous grazers in marine ecosystems around the world and likely in fluence carbon cycling due to their large population sizes with high growth and excretion rates. Aggregations or blooms of these organisms occur frequently, but they are dif ficult to measure or predict because doliolids are fragile, under sampled with conventional plankton nets, and can aggregate on fine spatial scales (1 –10 m). Moreover, ecological studies typ- ically target a single region or site that does not encompass the range of possible habitats favoring doliolid prolifera- tion. To address these limitations, we combined in situ imaging data from six coastal ecosystems, including theOregon shelf, northern California, southern California Bight, northern Gulf of Mexico, Straits of Florida, and Medi-
