Multiple opsin expression in cubozoan ocelli indicates functional redundancy [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Box jellyfish have a complex visual system comprising 24 eyes of four morphological types. The visual functions of the two large image-forming lens eyes are well-understood; however, far less is known about the two lateral pairs of smaller eyes, the pit ...

Cubomedusae (Cubozoa, Carybdeida, Carukiidae) in Hong Kong, China: first records of cubozoans in Chinese waters confirmed using citizen science and digital authentication [PDF]

Check List, 2023
The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project uses photographs and videos from citizen scientists to document the occurrence of jellyfish in this region. Based on these records, we describe sightings of two previously unrecorded species of box jellyfish, Malo filipina

Long-term fluctuations in circalunar Beach aggregations of the box jellyfish Alatina moseri in Hawaii, with links to environmental variability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The box jellyfish Alatina moseri forms monthly aggregations at Waikiki Beach 8-12 days after each full moon, posing a recurrent hazard to swimmers due to painful stings.

Investigation of Best Practices for Venom Toxin Purification in Jellyfish towards Functional Characterisation

Toxins, 2023
The relative lack of marine venom pharmaceuticals can be anecdotally attributed to difficulties in working with venomous marine animals, including how to maintain venom bioactivity during extraction and purification.

Evidence-Based Management of Box Jellyfish Stings. [PDF]

Mil Med
Abstract Introduction Rapidly acting and highly effective management approaches are critically needed for potentially life-threatening and career-ending stings by box jellyfish (phylum Cnidaria, class Cubozoa) among underwater-operation warfighters working in austere environments.

Velarium control and visual steering in box jellyfish. [PDF]

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol, 2013
Directional swimming in the box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora (cubozoa, cnidaria) is controlled by the shape of the velarium, which is a thin muscular sheet that forms the opening of the bell. It was unclear how different patterns of visual stimulation control directional swimming and that is the focus of this study.
