A Review of Toxins from Cnidaria
Marine Drugs, 2020 Cnidarians have been known since ancient times for the painful stings they induce to humans. The effects of the stings range from skin irritation to cardiotoxicity and can result in death of human beings.

Marine artificial light at night: An empirical and technical guide
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 1588-1601, September 2021., 2021 Abstract The increasing illumination of our world by artificial light at night (ALAN) has created a new field of global change research with impacts now being demonstrated across taxa, biological ranks and spatial scales. Following advances in terrestrial ecology, marine ALAN has become a rapidly growing research area attracting scientists from across ...

Evolution of glial wrapping: A new hypothesis
Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 453-463, July/August 2021., 2021 Abstract Animals are able to move and react in numerous ways to external stimuli. Thus, environmental stimuli need to be detected, information must be processed and finally an output decision must be transmitted to the musculature to get the animal moving.

Indoles induce metamorphosis in a broad diversity of jellyfish, but not in a crown jelly (Coronatae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Many animals go through one or more metamorphoses during their lives, however, the molecular underpinnings of metamorphosis across diverse species are not well understood.

Salinity effects on asexual reproduction of Carybdea sp. (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) [PDF]
Journal of Plankton Research, 2013 Medusa production in cubozoans may be associated with reduced-salinity waters. Asexual reproduction of Carybdea sp. differed at different salinities. The metamorphosis of Carybdea sp. polyps into medusae was accelerated at low salinity (32), while more polyps were budded from the original polyp at the highest salinity (38), probably due to prolonged ...

Neritic Jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Cubozoa and Scyphozoa) from the coast of Rio Grande do Norte state, northeast of Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2009 For the entire Brazilian coast, there are 22 published records of scyphozoans. On the other hand, only 35 species ofcubozoans were described worldwide, four of them reported for the Brazilian coast.

Visual Ecology and Functional Morphology of Cubozoa (Cnidaria) [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2003 Jellyfish belong to one of the oldest extant animal phyla, the Cnidaria. The first Cnidaria appear in the fossil record 600 million years ago, preceeding the Cambrian explosion. They are an extremely successful group present in all marine environments and some freshwater environments.

An evolutionary genomics view on neuropeptide genes in Hydrozoa and Endocnidozoa (Myxozoa)
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background The animal phylum Cnidaria consists of six classes or subphyla: Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Cubozoa, Staurozoa, Anthozoa, and Endocnidozoa. Cnidarians have an early evolutionary origin, diverging before the emergence of the Bilateria.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 During animal evolution, ancestral Cnidaria and Bilateria diverged more than 600 million years ago. The nervous systems of extant cnidarians are strongly peptidergic.

Comparative Aspects of Structure and Function of Cnidarian Neuropeptides
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Cnidarians are early-branching animals in the eukaryotic tree of life. The phylum Cnidaria are divided into five classes: Scyphozoa (true jellyfish), Cubozoa (box jellyfish), Hydrozoa (species, Hydra and Hydractinia), Anthozoa (sea anemone, corals, and ...
