Variability of cnidae within a small clonal sea anemone (Isactinia sp.)
Abstract The cnidom and intraspecific variability of cnidae within the small sea anemone Isactinia sp. were verified. The specific cnidae within the cnidom of four discrete morphological structures (tentacle, actinopharynx, mesenterial filaments, and body column) within Isactinia sp. was investigated.

Sea anemone model has a single Toll-like receptor that can function in pathogen detection, NF-κB signal transduction, and development [PDF]
In organisms from insects to vertebrates, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary pathogen detectors that activate downstream pathways, specifically those that direct expression of innate immune effector genes.

Comparative Analysis of Convergent Jellyfish Eyes Reveals Extensive Differences in Expression of Vision-Related Genes. [PDF]
Eyes have evolved in many different lineages, including several times within jellyfish, yet the relative contributions of shared and lineage‐specific genes to convergent eyes are not known. We find that three long‐diverged species of jellyfish have mostly divergent patterns of gene expression in their eye‐bearing tissues, suggesting a major role for ...

Ocular and Extraocular Expression of Opsins in the Rhopalium of Tripedalia cystophora (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) [PDF]
A growing body of work on the neuroethology of cubozoans is based largely on the capabilities of the photoreceptive tissues, and it is important to determine the molecular basis of their light sensitivity. The cubozoans rely on 24 special purpose eyes to

There's something in the water: an overview of jellyfish, their stings, and treatment.
An increasing presence on many beaches worldwide, jellyfish are a diverse group of Cnidarians equipped with stinging cells termed cnidocytes. Though few of the over 10,000 species are dangerous to humans, and most that are produce no more than a painful ...

Gene duplication is a major force driving evolutionary innovation. A classic example is generating new animal toxins via duplication of physiological protein-encoding genes and recruitment into venom.

Artificial sound impact could put at risk hermit crabs and their symbiont anemones [PDF]
The sea anemone Calliactis parasitica, which is found in the East Atlantic (Portugal to Senegal) and the Mediterranean Sea, forms a symbiotic relationship with the red hermit crab, Dardanus calidus, in which the anemone provides protection from predators
