A fragmented metazoan organellar genome [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Animal mitochondrial (mt) genomes are characteristically circular molecules of ~16–20 kb. Medusozoa (Cnidaria excluding Anthozoa) are exceptional in that their mt genomes are linear and sometimes subdivided into two to presumably four ...

Ancient Venom Systems: A Review on Cnidaria Toxins
Toxins, 2015 Cnidarians are the oldest extant lineage of venomous animals. Despite their simple anatomy, they are capable of subduing or repelling prey and predator species that are far more complex and recently evolved. Utilizing specialized penetrating nematocysts,

Stress and death of cnidarian host cells play a role in cnidarian bleaching [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013 Summary Coral bleaching occurs when there is a breakdown of the symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and resident Symbiodinium spp. Multiple mechanisms for the bleaching process have been identified including apoptosis and autophagy, and most previous work has focused on the Symbiodinium cell as the initiator of the bleaching cascade.
