The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily in cnidarians
Scientific Reports, 2021 The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is a diverse and important enzyme family, playing a central role in chemical defense and in synthesis and metabolism of major biological signaling molecules.

Ecology and EvolutionCoral reefs are increasingly threatened by disease outbreaks, yet little is known about the genetic mechanisms underlying disease resistance. Since the 1970s, White Band Disease (WBD) has decimated the Caribbean staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis ...

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

To Pee, or Not to Pee: A Review on Envenomation and Treatment in European Jellyfish Species
Marine Drugs, 2016 There is a growing cause for concern on envenoming European species because of jellyfish blooms, climate change and globalization displacing species. Treatment of envenomation involves the prevention of further nematocyst release and relieving local and ...

Dawn of complex animal food webs: A new predatory anthozoan (Cnidaria) from Cambrian
The Innovation, 2022 Cnidarians diverged very early in animal evolution; therefore, investigations of the morphology and trophic levels of early fossil cnidarians may provide critical insights into the evolution of metazoans and the origin of modern marine food webs. However,

The Evolution of Senses: My Research Journey into the Nervous System of Cnidaria [PDF]
, 2017 Our understanding of the evolutionary history of animals is improving, but knowledge of the ancient sensory systems that early animals used to interact with their environments is still largely unknown.

XY sex determination in a cnidarian
BMC Biology, 2022 AbstractSex determination occurs across animal species, but most of our knowledge about the mechanisms of sex determination comes from only a handful of bilaterian taxa. This limits our ability to infer the evolutionary history of sex determination within animals.
