Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Reef corals and sea anemones form symbioses with unicellular symbiotic dinoflagellates. The molecular circumventions that underlie the successful intracellular colonization of hosts by symbionts are still largely unknown.

The Complicated Evolutionary Diversification of the Mpeg-1/Perforin-2 Family in Cnidarians
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The invertebrate innate immune system is surprisingly complex, yet our knowledge is limited to a few select model systems. One understudied group is the phylum Cnidaria (corals, sea anemones, etc.).

Cnidarian Models for Toxicology
Aquatic ToxicologyCoral reefs and tropical habitats are threatened worldwide by global warming and pollution stress. The purpose of these studies was to evaluate potential strategies for using jellyfish for toxicological assessments and as potential toxicological models for corals and other Cnidarians.

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 ...

Making Sweat Measurable: Induction, Sampling, and Refreshment in Wearable Biofluid Sensing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Wearable sweat sensing relies not only on chemical detection but also on controlled biofluid management. This Review integrates sweat physiology, induction strategies, and microfluidic sampling architectures, demonstrating how flux, transport, and refreshment shape measurement reliability.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Climate Change Leads to a Reduction in Symbiotic Derived Cnidarian Biodiversity on Coral Reefs
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Symbiotic relationships enable partners to thrive and survive in habitats where they would either not be as successful, or potentially not exist, without the symbiosis.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
