Hunting in bioluminescent light: Vision in the nocturnal box jellyfish Copula sivickisi
Cubomedusae all have a similar set of six eyes on each of their four rhopalia. Still, there is a great variation in activity patterns with some species being strictly day active while others are strictly night active.

Pupillary response to light in three species of Cubozoa (box jellyfish)
Pupillary response under varying conditions of bright light and darkness was compared in three species of Cubozoa with differing ecologies. Maximal and minimal pupil area in relation to total eye area was measured and the rate of change recorded. In Carukia barnesi, the rate of pupil constriction was faster and final constriction greater than in ...

Abstract Acclimatization through phenotypic plasticity represents a more rapid response to environmental change than adaptation and is vital to optimize organisms' performance in different conditions. Generally, animals are less phenotypically plastic than plants, but reef‐building corals exhibit plant‐like properties.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of Australian cubozoa
Jellyfishes in the class Cubozoa are species rich and often abundant in Australian waters. They are geographically widespread in tropical and temperate waters and they have global significance both economically and recreationally as dangerous marine stingers. They are interesting evolutionarily and with respect to ecology and life history. Despite this,
