Cardiotoxic effects of venoms from Chironex fleckeri and Chiropsalmus sp. on an invertebrate model [PDF]
, 2006 Extracted venoms from two species of cubozoan, Chironex fleckeri (C. fleckeri)and Chiropsalmus sp., were injected into the freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus (C. quadricarinatus).

POTENTIAL USEFULNESS OF PLANT EXTRACTS TO COUNTERACT CNIDARIAN VENOMS
, 2021 Cnidarians toxins are known to have a high impact on public health in marine coastal zones the world over. Consequently these toxins are now recognised as an important focus for research on their therapeutic potential. To date several therapeutically important activities have been experimentally identified in cnidarian extracts and venoms. However, the

A crown-group cnidarian from the Ediacaran of Charnwood Forest, UK
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Cnidarians are a disparate and ancient phylum, encompassing corals and jellyfish, and occupy both the pelagic and benthic realms. They have a rich fossil record from the Phanerozoic eon lending insight into the early history of the group but, although ...

Phylogenetically diverse diets favor more complex venoms in North American pitvipers
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Why biological complexity evolves is a major question in the life sciences, but the specific selection pressures favoring simple or complex traits remain unclear.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 2, Page 45-58, March 2025.This work used the model EmbryoMaker to explore the most basic set of morphologies that can be produced from spherical initial conditions by activating cell properties and behaviors in simple genetic territories. We found five possible morphogenetic transformations: invagination, evagination, elongation, condensation and anisotropic growth.

Expansion and Neofunctionalization of Actinoporin-like Genes in Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) [PDF]
, 2022 Pore-forming toxins are an important component of the venom of many animals. Actinoporins are potent cytolysins that were first detected in the venom of sea anemones; however, they are occasionally found in animals other than cnidarians and are expanded ...

The biology and evolution of spider venoms
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2021 Spiders are diverse, predatory arthropods that have inhabited Earth for around 400 million years. They are well known for their complex venom systems that are used to overpower their prey.
