Regeneration and Musculature in Halved <i>Cassiopea xamachana</i> Ephyrae. [PDF]
Integr Org BiolSynopsis Adult Cassiopea medusae and their polyps have been known to regenerate tissue in uncontrolled and controlled conditions; however, the regeneration capabilities of Cassiopea xamachana ephyrae are largely unexplored. Here, we detail the development and regeneration of ephyrae under known laboratory conditions.

The Jellyfish Cassiopea Exhibits a Sleep-like State [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Do all animals sleep? Sleep has been observed in many vertebrates, and there is a growing body of evidence for sleep-like states in arthropods and nematodes [1-5]. Here we show that sleep is also present in Cnidaria [6-8], an earlier-branching metazoan lineage. Cnidaria and Ctenophora are the first metazoan phyla to evolve tissue-level organization and

Neuromuscular development in the emerging scyphozoan model system, Cassiopea xamachana: implications for the evolution of cnidarian nervous systems. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2023 The scyphozoan Cassiopea xamachana is an emerging cnidarian model system for studying regeneration, animal-algae symbiotic relationships, and various aspects of evolutionary biology including the early emergence of animal nervous systems. Cassiopea has a

The Internal Microenvironment of the Symbiotic Jellyfish Cassiopea sp. From the Red Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The characterization of the internal microenvironment of symbiotic marine invertebrates is essential for a better understanding of the symbiosis dynamics. Microalgal symbionts (of the family: Symbiodiniaceae) influence diel fluctuations of in host O2 and

Oceans, 2020 Benzophenones are UV-blockers found in most common sunscreens. The ability of Scyphozoan planula larvae of Cassiopea xamachana and C. frondosa to swim and complete metamorphosis in concentrations 0–228 µg/L benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) was tested. Planulae of both species swam in erratic patterns, 25–30% slower, and experienced significant death (p <
