Immunohistochemical evidence for multiple photosystems in box jellyfish.
Cell and Tissue Research, 2008 Cubomedusae (box jellyfish) possess a remarkable visual system with 24 eyes distributed in four sensory structures termed rhopalia. Each rhopalium is equipped with six eyes: two pairs of pigment cup eyes and two unpaired lens eyes. Each eye type probably

Associative learning in the box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora
Current Biology, 2023 Associative learning, such as classical or operant conditioning, has never been unequivocally associated with animals outside bilatarians, e.g., vertebrates, arthropods, or mollusks.

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

Visual Tracking of Box Jellyfish: A Real-Time Motion Tracking System
, 2015 In this chapter a system for tracking the motion of box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora in a special test setup is investigated. The goal is to measure the motor response of the animal given certain visual stimuli.

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
