The draft genome of Actinia tenebrosa reveals insights into toxin evolution
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 19, Page 11314-11328, October 2019., 2019 To date, the majority of studies characterizing toxins in sea anemones have been restricted to species from the Actinioidea superfamily; however, no draft genomes are currently available for this superfamily. Here we have sequenced, assembled, and annotated the first Actinioidean draft genome for Actinia tenebrosa. The results make clear that the draft

Clinical Presentation and Pathological Effects of a Hydrozoan Bloom on Farmed Atlantic Salmon
Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Largely unpredictable, gelatinous plankton blooms are a growing concern for the ever‐expanding mariculture industry. Recently, a bloom of a colonial hydrozoan known as Apolemia sp. was detected via a citizen‐science initiative, Nye.dugnadforhavet.no, in mid‐Norway in July 2023.

WIREs Developmental Biology, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 408-428, July/August 2016., 2016 Reverse genetics and next‐generation sequencing unlocked a new era in biology. It is now possible to identify an animal(s) with the unique biology most relevant to a particular question and rapidly generate tools to functionally dissect that biology. This review highlights the rise of one such novel model system, the starlet sea anemone Nematostella ...

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Several factors may affect heterotrophic feeding of benthic marine invertebrates, including water flow rate and polyp context (i.e., the presence of neighbouring polyps). We tested the interactive effects of water flow rate and polyp context on zooplankton feeding by the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

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.

Puncture mechanics of cnidarian cnidocysts: a natural actuator [PDF]
, 2009 Background Cnidocysts isolated from cnidarian organisms are attractive as a drug-delivery platform due to their fast, efficient delivery of toxins. The cnidocyst could be utilized as the means to deliver therapeutics in a wearable drug-delivery patch ...
