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 ...

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 Analysis of Convergent Jellyfish Eyes Reveals Extensive Differences in Expression of Vision‐Related Genes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionQuantifying gene expression across convergent origins of traits clarifies the degree to which those traits arise from shared versus distinct genetic programs, revealing how gene reuse relates to the repeatability of evolution.

Use of eDNA to Determine Source Locations of Deadly Jellyfish (Cubozoa) in an Open Coastal System
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

New records of Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida) along the southeastern Florida coastline [PDF]
Check List, 2023 Regional changes in coastal climates have recently resulted in many marine species expanding their natural ranges poleward. Among these newly migrating species is the Mangrove Box Jelly, Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida). Discovery

Visual Perception and the Emergence of Minimal Representation
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 There is a long-lasting quest of demarcating a minimally representational behavior. Based on neurophysiologically-informed behavioral studies, we argue in detail that one of the simplest cases of organismic behavior based on low-resolution spatial vision–
