Morphology and phylogeny of the sea anemone Stichodactyla haddoni(Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from Chabahar Bay, Iran [PDF]

, 2015
Carpet anemones of the genus Stichodactyla are characterized by having no calcium carbonate skeleton, being flattened with rather short tentacles, being exclusively tropical, and being hosts for clown fish species.

The proteotranscriptomic characterization of venom in the white seafan Eunicella singularis elucidates the evolution of Octocorallia arsenal [PDF]

Open Biology
All the members of the phylum Cnidaria are characterized by the production of venom in specialized structures, the nematocysts. Venom of jellyfish (Medusozoa) and sea anemones (Anthozoa) has been investigated since the 1970s, revealing a remarkable ...

Quantifying diversity and growth form distribution of scleractinian corals, in Mangrove Bay, El Qoseir, Egypt [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Coral reefs provide habitat for approximately 25% of all extant marine species, including 845 species of scleractinian corals. These rich ecosystems are becoming increasingly degraded in many regions by a range of anthropogenic factors, including ...

Development of microsatellite markers and evaluation of the genetic diversity of the edible sea anemone Paracondylactis sinensis (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) in China [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Paracondylactis sinensis Carlgren, 1934 is a sea anemone with economic value in China. The wild population of P. sinensis has been shrinking due to overfishing and environmental pollution, which have caused price instability.

Contribution of Maternal and Paternal Transmission to Bacterial Colonization in Nematostella vectensis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microbial communities confer multiple beneficial effects to their multicellular hosts. To evaluate the evolutionary and ecological implications of the animal-microbe interactions, it is essential to understand how bacterial colonization is secured and ...

Environmental and molecular regulation of asexual reproduction in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Cnidarians exhibit incredible reproductive diversity, with most capable of sexual and asexual reproduction. Here, we investigate factors that influence asexual reproduction in the burrowing sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, which can propagate ...

Evolutionary diversification of banded tube-dwelling anemones (Cnidaria; Ceriantharia; Isarachnanthus) in the Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The use of molecular data for species delimitation in Anthozoa is still a very delicate issue. This is probably due to the low genetic variation found among the molecular markers (primarily mitochondrial) commonly used for Anthozoa.

Evolutionary History of DMSP Lyase-Like Genes in Animals and Their Possible Involvement in Evolution of the Scleractinian Coral Genus, Acropora

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Dimethlysulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyase is an enzyme that mediates cleavage of DMSP into dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and acrylate. DMS is an aerosol substance that may affect cloud formation, solar radiation and ocean temperatures.
