Force-dependent discharge of nematocysts in the sea anemone Haliplanella luciae (Verrill)
Biology Open, 2012 Summary Sea anemones discharge cnidae (‘stinging capsules’ including nematocysts) to capture prey and to defend themselves. In the present study, we tested the relationship between the force of test probes striking feeding tentacles and discharge of ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 2, Page 45-58, March 2025.This work used the model EmbryoMaker to explore the most basic set of morphologies that can be produced from spherical initial conditions by activating cell properties and behaviors in simple genetic territories. We found five possible morphogenetic transformations: invagination, evagination, elongation, condensation and anisotropic growth.

Census of Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) of the Azores (NE Atlantic) with a nomenclature update.
Zootaxa, 2019 Zoological nomenclature revisions are essential for biodiversity studies and indispensable to avoid naming and description of already described species and should be valued in all subsequent studies considering biology, molecular biology, ecology or ...
