Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionIntroductionIn the upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea xamachana (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa), the establishment of photosymbiosis with dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae) is necessary for the sessile polyp to undergo metamorphosis (strobilation) into a free ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 Upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) are mostly sedentary, benthic jellyfish that have invaded estuarine ecosystems around the world. Monitoring the spread of this invasive jellyfish must contend with high spatial and temporal variability in abundance ...

Reproducible propagation technique for the symbiotic cnidarian model system Cassiopea xamachana
Biology Open, 2022 The phylum Cnidaria is composed of corals, jellyfish, hydras, and sea anemones. Cnidarians are well-known for their regenerative capability, with many species maintaining the ability to regenerate complete structures.

The Presence of a Substrate Strengthens The Jet Generated by Upside-Down Jellyfish
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea, are prevalent in warm and shallow parts of the oceans throughout the world. They are unique among jellyfish in that they rest upside down against the substrate and extend their oral arms upwards.

Fitness of Cassiopea polyps Inoculated with Different Types of Symbionts
Ilmu Kelautan, 2022 The specificity of the relationship between cnidarian hosts and symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) differs among host species. Some cnidarian hosts can establish symbiotic relationship with various types of zooxanthellae, while others exhibit high

The puzzling occurrence of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) along the Brazilian coast: a result of several invasion events? [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2020 The massive occurrence of jellyfish in several areas of the world is reported annually, but most of the data come from the northern hemisphere and often refer to a restricted group of species that are not in the genus Cassiopea.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Ecological profiling of non-native species is essential to predict their dispersal and invasiveness potential across different areas of the world. Cassiopea is a monophyletic taxonomic group of scyphozoan mixotrophic jellyfish including C.

Ecology of the medusa Cassiopea xamanchana in Curaçao
, 1971 1. Cassiopea xamachana is unable to tolerate any wave action, turbulence or currents. 2. Although the species is found only in shallow water where the light intensity is high, it could not be demonstrated that light intensity is an important factor. 3. Normal temperature fluctuations — at least in the Antilles — are of no significance as the range that

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 We developed eDNA metabarcoding and quantitative PCR for the detection and assessment of jellyfish taxa in the temperate Yantai Sishili Bay (YSB) and estimated the spatial distribution of Aurelia coerulea. Our results demonstrate the potential of two eDNA techniques in jellyfish biomass investigation and jellyfish taxa detecting.
