Chilling Injury to Algal Symbionts Induces Host Starvation and Metabolic Reorganization in a Temperate Cnidarian [PDF]
ABSTRACT Global temperature anomalies increasingly disrupt the cnidarian‐algal symbiosis resulting in a phenomenon termed bleaching. In contrast to heat stress, the mechanisms underlying symbiotic breakdown under cold stress remain largely unknown. Combining physiological and metabolomic measurements, we investigated the response of the photosymbiotic ...

Evidence for a genetic sex determination in Cnidaria, the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) [PDF]
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 ...

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—

A Novel Phospholipase A2 Isolated from Palythoa caribaeorum Possesses Neurotoxic Activity
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
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
