Nutritional potentials inZoanthus sociathus (Coelenterata, Anthozoa) [PDF]
1. The tropical coral reef-dwelling coelenterateZoanthus sociatus (Ellis) lives in mutualistic symbiosis with dinoflagellates of the genusGymnodinium. These algae are intracellular. 2. Analysis of the photosynthetic contribution of these endosymbionts shows a direct transfer of photosynthate from algae to animal and utilization of such substances by ...

Linear Mitochondrial Genome in Anthozoa (Cnidaria): A Case Study in Ceriantharia
Sequences and structural attributes of mitochondrial genomes have played a critical role in the clarification of relationships among Cnidaria, a key phylum of early-diverging animals.

The occurrence of Isarachnanthus Carlgren, 1924 (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Ceriantharia) specimens in Cape Verde Islands is recorded. Identification of the tube anemone species Isarachnanthus maderensis (Johnson, 1861) was possible based on DNA Barcoding.

Recent studies revealed that reef corals can eat large-sized pelagic and benthic animals in addition to small planktonic prey. As follow-up, we document natural ingestion of sea slugs by corals and investigate the role of sacoglossan sea slugs as ...

The sea anemone Bunodactis octoradiata (Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from southern Patagonia: morphological study and new records [PDF]
Bunodactis Verril, 1899 comprises at present 19 nominal species of sea anemones. The validity of the genus is under discussion. The description of the species, Bunodactis octoradiata Carlgren, 1899, is insufficient for reliable identification, and ...

Using antibodies raised against in vitro cultured cells, we determined the property of coral larval cells. Neuronal cells, ectoderm cells, and endoderm cells were characterized. Abstract In previous studies, we have established approximately 15 cultured cell‐lines derived from planula larvae of Acropora tenuis.

Phylogeography of New Zealand’s coastal benthos [PDF]
During the past 30 years, 42 molecular studies have been undertaken in New Zealand to examine the phylogeography of coastal benthic invertebrates and plants. Here, we identify generalities and/or patterns that have emerged from this research and consider

The Phylum Cnidaria: A Review of Phylogenetic Patterns and Diversity 300 Years After Linnaeus [PDF]
Systema Naturae includes representatives of every major lineage of the animal phylum Cnidaria. However, Linnaeus did not classify the members of the phylum as is now done, and the diversity of the group is not well represented.

Ultrastructure and tube formation in Ceriantharia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa)
Abstract Cnidomes are an important feature that diagnoses groups of Cnidaria. Our paper describes how these structures are used in the formation of the tubes of tube Anemones, Ceriantharia. The structure of the tube was observed using SEM and the organization of the tubules are described for members of the three families of Ceriantharia. Additionally,

Symbiont‐Mediated Metabolic Shift in the Sea Anemone Anthopleura elegantissima
ABSTRACT Coral reefs and their photosynthetic algae form one of the most ecologically and economically impactful symbioses in the animal kingdom. The stability of this nutritional mutualism and this ecosystem is, however, at risk due to increasing sea surface temperatures that cause corals to expel their symbionts.
