Development and myogenesis of the vermiform
, 2012 Background The enigmatic wormlike parasite Buddenbrockia plumatellae has recently been shown to belong to the Myxozoa, which are now supported as a clade within Cnidaria.

, 2015 AbstractCnidaria are one of the basal groups within the metazoans. They are divided into the Medusozoa (Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Staurozoa, and Cubozoa) and the Anthozoa, which are thought to be the basal group within the Cnidaria. Cnidaria together with the Ctenophora are the lowest groups with a nervous system that relies on synaptic conduction and are ...

Mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggest that stony corals are monophyletic but most families of stony corals are not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) [PDF]
, 2008 Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic.

Diversity, 2023 Jewel sea anemones constitute a relatively small group of solitary cnidarians, a sister group of scleractinian corals. In the southwest Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, two species of jewel sea anemones have been found: Corynactis carnea and Corallimorphus ...

Evidence for a genetic sex determination in Cnidaria, the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Sexual reproduction is widespread among eukaryotes, and the sex-determining processes vary greatly among species. While genetic sex determination (GSD) has been intensively described in bilaterian species, no example has yet been recorded among non ...

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Cubomedusae, or box jellyfish, have a complex visual system comprising 24 eyes of four types. Like other cnidarians, their photoreceptor cells are ciliary in morphology, and a range of different techniques together show that at least two of the eye types—

Setting the pace: new insights into central pattern generator interactions in box jellyfish swimming [PDF]
, 2011 Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce rhythmic behaviour across all animal phyla. Cnidarians, which have a radially symmetric nervous system and pacemaker centres in multiples of four, provide an interesting comparison to bilaterian animals for ...

A Novel Phospholipase A2 Isolated from Palythoa caribaeorum Possesses Neurotoxic Activity
Toxins, 2019 Zoanthids of the genus Palythoa are distributed worldwide in shallow waters around coral reefs. Like all cnidarians, they possess nematocysts that contain a large diversity of toxins that paralyze their prey.

Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Skin after the Sting of the Jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca
Case Reports in Dermatology, 2023 Jellyfish are aquatic animals of the phylum Cnidaria found in seas all over the world. They are characterized by the presence of cnidocytes, cells that contain a secretory organelle, the cnidocyst, mainly used for predation and defense purposes. An adult

A Broad Survey of Gene Body and Repeat Methylation in Cnidaria Reveals a Complex Evolutionary History [PDF]
, 2022 DNA methylation, an important component of eukaryotic epigenetics, varies in pattern and function across Metazoa. Notably, bilaterian vertebrates and invertebrates differ dramatically in gene body methylation (GbM).
