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 ...

The Phylum Cnidaria: A Review of Phylogenetic Patterns and Diversity 300 Years After Linnaeus [PDF]
, 2007 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.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Rapid warming in the Arctic is causing cumulative impacts on ecosystems, including widespread reduction in sea ice extent, resulting in shifts in primary production, which can have cascading bottom‐up trophic influences on marine food web structure and function. Understanding trophic interactions and the structure of local food webs across the

Phylogeography of New Zealand’s coastal benthos [PDF]
, 2009 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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.We applied an object‐detection model to archived videos from 1997‐2023 of a submarine rock wall in a Swedish marine protected area. We modeled depth distributions and abundance trends of 17 invertebrate taxa. Most taxa resided at deeper wall sections and abundance trends were generally positive, but heat sensitivity was associated with population ...

Mediterranean octocoral populations exposed to marine heatwaves are less resilient to disturbances
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1528-1541, August 2025.We demonstrate that marine heat waves decrease the resilience of Mediterranean octocorals to further disturbances. Abstract The effects of climate change are now more pervasive than ever. Marine ecosystems have been particularly impacted by climate change, with marine heatwaves (MHWs) being a strong driver of mass mortality events.

Community composition of epibenthic megafauna on the West Greenland Shelf [PDF]
, 2015 Epibenthic organisms are a critical component of the marine environment, functioning as ecosystem engineers, habitat and food for other organisms. Our knowledge of the diversity, complexity and sensitivities of these habitats is limited, particularly at ...

Between the Poles: Rethinking Global Patterns in Sea Anemone Biodiversity
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Aim To assess global sampling coverage of sea anemones and global species richness across four different spatial resolutions, and analyse these along latitudinal gradients to investigate true bimodality and the extent to which these patterns have been influenced by uneven sampling efforts. Location The study encompasses a global scale.
