Comparative gonadal histology reveals complex reproductive traits in Cubozoa (Cnidaria: Medusozoa)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Cubozoa, a relatively small class within Medusozoa (Cnidaria), is distinguished by its complex sexual behaviors, setting it apart from other medusozoan classes.

Modulation of fatty acid profiles and turnover dynamics in jellyfish polyps through copepod diets: Insights into trophic interactions and nutrient flux

Ecology and Evolution
Fatty acids (FAs) are vital biomolecules crucial for determining food quality for higher trophic levels. To investigate FA transfer and turnover time in predators, we conducted a diet switch experiment using jellyfish polyps.
