Ocular and extraocular expression of opsins in the rhopalium of Tripedalia cystophora (Cnidaria: Cubozoa). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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

Comparative Study of Toxic Effects and Pathophysiology of Envenomations Induced by Carybdea brevipedalia (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) and Nemopilema nomurai (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) Jellyfish Venoms [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Jellyfish stings can result in local tissue damage and systemic pathophysiological sequelae. Despite constant occurrences of jellyfish stings in oceans throughout the world, the toxinological assessment of these jellyfish envenomations has not been ...

JellyWeb: an interactive information system on Scyphozoa, Cubozoa and Staurozoa [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2016 Identification of organisms is traditionally based on the use of “classic” identification keys, normally printed on paper. These keys have several drawbacks: they are mainly based on the systematics, requiring identification of orders, families and ...

Use of eDNA to Determine Source Locations of Deadly Jellyfish (Cubozoa) in an Open Coastal System [PDF]
CoastsChallenges associated with cubozoan jellyfish detection and the limitations of current detection techniques limit the ability of scientists to fill critical knowledge gaps surrounding their ecology. Environmental DNA (eDNA), however, has proven useful as

Assessing the Utility of Broad-Acting Inhibitors as Therapeutics in Diverse Venoms [PDF]
ToxinsExamination of venom constituent bioactivities from diverse venomous animals shows certain highly conserved classes, including enzymes (e.g., phospholipases and metalloproteinases) and pore-forming proteins.

Investigation of Best Practices for Venom Toxin Purification in Jellyfish towards Functional Characterisation [PDF]
Toxins, 2023 The relative lack of marine venom pharmaceuticals can be anecdotally attributed to difficulties in working with venomous marine animals, including how to maintain venom bioactivity during extraction and purification.

Comparative gonadal histology reveals complex reproductive traits in Cubozoa (Cnidaria: Medusozoa) [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionCubozoa, a relatively small class within Medusozoa (Cnidaria), is distinguished by its complex sexual behaviors, setting it apart from other medusozoan classes.
