In silico characterization of Cnidarian’s antimicrobial peptides
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The characterization of active compounds in Cnidaria sheds light on a large bank of substances against multiresistant bacteria related to diseases in humans, which makes it a cutting edge with a repertoire of antimicrobial molecules worthy of ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

Impact of El Niño-Southern Oscillation 2015-2016 on the soluble proteomic profile and cytolytic activity of Millepora alcicornis (“fire coral”) from the Mexican Caribbean [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Reef-forming cnidarians are extremely susceptible to the “bleaching” phenomenon caused by global warming. The effect of elevated seawater temperature has been extensively studied on Anthozoans; however, to date the impact of thermal stress on the ...

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.

Latitudinal Gradients of Species Richness in Marine Benthos: Insights From Japan's Tidal Flat Areas
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.Latitudinal diversity gradients in species richness were observed in the coasts of Japan. Extensive tidal flats and biogeographical connectivity to the Eurasian Continent may cause the unexpected peak in species diversity at the Kyushu region. Mollusca was the dominant taxonomic group, followed by Malacostraca, Annelida, and other benthic groups ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.Underwater compressed‐air blasting is a novel method developed to control invasive sun corals (Tubastraea spp.). The technique removes coral soft tissue without fragmenting colonies, reducing the risk of regeneration and accidental spread. This approach offers a safer and practical tool for managing invasive corals in natural reefs and biofouling ...

Expulsion of symbiotic algae during feeding by the green hydra--a mechanism for regulating symbiont density? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Algal-cnidarian symbiosis is one of the main factors contributing to the success of cnidarians, and is crucial for the maintenance of coral reefs. While loss of the symbionts (such as in coral bleaching) may cause the death of the cnidarian host, over ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 15, 17 April 2026.This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.
