Cnidarian Interaction with Microbial Communities: From Aid to Animal’s Health to Rejection Responses

Marine Drugs, 2018
The phylum Cnidaria is an ancient branch in the tree of metazoans. Several species exert a remarkable longevity, suggesting the existence of a developed and consistent defense mechanism of the innate immunity capable to overcome the potential repeated ...

Cnidarian Pattern Recognition Receptor Repertoires Reflect Both Phylogeny and Life History Traits

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are evolutionarily ancient and crucial components of innate immunity, recognizing danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activating host defenses.

The sea anemone Bunodactis octoradiata (Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from southern Patagonia: morphological study and new records [PDF]

, 2014
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 ...
