Review: The evolution of peptidergic signaling in Cnidaria and Placozoa, including a comparison with Bilateria

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Bilateria have bilateral symmetry and are subdivided into Deuterostomia (animals like vertebrates) and Protostomia (animals like insects and mollusks).

Xenia umbellata (Octocorallia): A novel model organism for studying octocoral regeneration ability

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Climate change is leading to phase shifts in coral reefs worldwide. In many biogeographic regions, octocorals are now becoming the most abundant benthic components, due to their environmental resilience and ability to rapidly colonize reef surfaces ...

Embryonic development of the moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa): another variant on the theme of invagination

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
Background Aurelia aurita (Scyphozoa, Cnidaria) is an emblematic species of the jellyfish. Currently, it is an emerging model of Evo-Devo for studying evolution and molecular regulation of metazoans’ complex life cycle, early development, and cell ...

Unexpected Distribution of Chitin and Chitin Synthase across Soft-Bodied Cnidarians

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Cnidarians are commonly recognized as sea jellies, corals, or complex colonies such as the Portuguese man-of-war. While some cnidarians possess rigid internal calcareous skeletons (e.g., corals), many are soft-bodied.

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Leptothecata (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) [PDF]

open access: goldScientific Reports, 2016
Leptothecata are hydrozoans whose hydranths are covered by perisarc and gonophores and whose medusae bear gonads on their radial canals. They develop complex polypoid colonies and exhibit considerable morphological variation among species with respect to

Phosphatic Biomineralization in Scyphozoa (Cnidaria): A Review

open access: yesMinerals, 2022
Phosphatic biomineralization is unknown in modern species of Scyphozoa (Cnidaria). However, some extinct groups of Scyphozoa, such as conulariids and Sphenothallus, were capable of secreting phosphatic exoskeletons.

Localization of Multiple Jellyfish Toxins Shows Specificity for Functionally Distinct Polyps and Nematocyst Types in a Colonial Hydrozoan

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus is a colonial hydrozoan that displays a division of labor through morphologically distinct and functionally specialized polyp types.

Selecting 16S rRNA Primers for Microbiome Analysis in a Host–Microbe System: The Case of the Jellyfish Rhopilema nomadica

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is extensively used to characterize bacterial communities, including those living in association with eukaryotic hosts.

A New Conulariid (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) From the Terminal Ediacaran of Brazil

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Paraconularia ediacara n. sp., the oldest documented conulariid cnidarian, is described based on a compressed thin specimen from the terminal Ediacaran Tamengo Formation near Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil.

The importance of molecular characters when morphological variability hinders diagnosability: systematics of the moon jellyfish genus Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Cryptic species have been detected across Metazoa, and while no apparent morphological features distinguish them, it should not impede taxonomists from formal descriptions.
