Toxins from the box-jellyfish Chironex fleckeri
Toxicon, 1993Two myotoxins (T1 and T2) with mol. wts of approximately 600,000 and 150,000, respectively, and a haemolysin (T3) with a mol. wt of approximately 70,000 were isolated from the crude nematocyst venom of C. fleckeri by the use of Sephadex G-200 chromatography. A neurotoxic fraction (T4) and a haemolytic fraction (T5) containing proteins with apparent mol.

Associative learning: Box jellyfish learns to avoid bumps
Current Biology, 2023Operant conditioning - learning to do something for a desired outcome - has never been convincingly demonstrated in Cnidaria. A study now shows that box jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora, can learn to avoid bumping into an obstacle based on visual cues.

Swim pacemakers in box jellyfish are modulated by the visual input
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008A major part of the cubozoan central nervous system is situated in the eye-bearing rhopalia. One of the neuronal output channels from the rhopalia carries a swim pacemaker signal, which has a one-to-one relation with the swim contractions of the bell shaped body. Given the advanced visual system of box jellyfish and that the pacemaker signal originates

Structure and optics of the eyes of the box jellyfish Chiropsella bronzie
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2009Cubomedusae have a total of 24 eyes of four morphologically different types. Two of these eye types are camera-type eyes (upper and lower lens-eye), while the other two eye types are simpler pigment pit eyes (pit and slit eye). Here, we give a description of the visual system of the box jellyfish species Chiropsella bronzie and the optics of the lens ...
