The temperate coral Astrangia poculata maintains acid–base homeostasis through heat stress [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHeat stress can disrupt acid–base homeostasis in reef-building corals and other tropical cnidarians, often leading to cellular acidosis that can undermine organismal function.

Enduring evolutionary embellishment of cloudinids in the Cambrian
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition and the following Cambrian Explosion are among the most fundamental events in the evolutionary history of animals. Understanding these events is enhanced when phylogenetic linkages can be established among animal fossils

Biology, 2022 Nematocysts are secretory organelles in cnidarians that play important roles in predation, defense, locomotion, and host invasion. However, the extent to which nematocysts contribute to adaptation and the mechanisms underlying nematocyst evolution are ...

Environmentally-Driven Variation in the Physiology of a New Caledonian Reef Coral
Oceans, 2022 Given the widespread threats to coral reefs, scientists have lost the opportunity to understand the basic biology of “pristine” corals whose physiologies have not been markedly perturbed by human activity. For instance, high temperature-induced bleaching

An Organismal Perspective on the Warburg Effect and Models for Proliferation Studies
Biology, 2023 Interest in the physiology of proliferation has been generated by human proliferative diseases, i.e., cancers. A vast literature exists on the Warburg effect, which is characterized by aerobic glycolysis, diminished oxygen uptake, and lactate secretion ...

Small RNAs in Cnidaria: A review
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 As fundamental components of RNA silencing, small RNA (sRNA) molecules ranging from 20 to 32 nucleotides in length have been found as potent regulators of gene expression and genome stability in many biological processes of eukaryotes.

Current Progress in Lipidomics of Marine Invertebrates
Marine Drugs, 2021 Marine invertebrates are a paraphyletic group that comprises more than 90% of all marine animal species. Lipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, are utilized as an energy reserve by all marine invertebrates, and are, therefore, considered ...

Cnidarian Immunity and the Repertoire of Defense Mechanisms in Anthozoans
Biology, 2020 Anthozoa is the most specious class of the phylum Cnidaria that is phylogenetically basal within the Metazoa. It is an interesting group for studying the evolution of mutualisms and immunity, for despite their morphological simplicity, Anthozoans are ...
