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.

Tracking the Motion of Box Jellyfish

, 2014
In this paper we investigate a system for tracking the motion of box jellyfish tripedalia cystophora in a special test setup. The goal is to measure the motor response of the animal given certain visual stimuli. The approach is based on tracking the special sensory structures – the rhopalia – of the box jellyfish from high-speed video sequences.

Assessing the Utility of Broad-Acting Inhibitors as Therapeutics in Diverse Venoms

Toxins
Examination of venom constituent bioactivities from diverse venomous animals shows certain highly conserved classes, including enzymes (e.g., phospholipases and metalloproteinases) and pore-forming proteins.

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.
