Behavioural and oceanographic isolation of an island-based jellyfish (Copula sivickisi, Class Cubozoa) population [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Cubozoan jellyfish are classified as plankton despite the strong swimming and orientation abilities of cubomedusae. How these capabilities could affect cubozoan population structures is poorly understood.

Differences in Cardiac Effects of Venoms from Tentacles and the Bell of Live Carukia barnesi: Using Non-Invasive Pulse Wave Doppler [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Carukia barnesi was the first in an expanding list of cubozoan jellyfish whose sting was identified as causing Irukandji syndrome. Nematocysts present on both the bell and tentacles are known to produce localised stings, though their individual roles in ...

Multiple opsin expression in cubozoan ocelli indicates functional redundancy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBox jellyfish have a complex visual system comprising 24 eyes of four morphological types. The visual functions of the two large image-forming lens eyes are well-understood; however, far less is known about the two lateral pairs of smaller eyes, the pit ...

Visual Perception and the Emergence of Minimal Representation [PDF]
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–

The complete mitochondrial genome of Morbakka virulenta Kishinouyea, 1910 (Cnidaria: Cubozoa: Carybdeida) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. ResourcesThis study presented the complete mitogenome of the cubozoan Morbakka virulenta Kishinouyea, 1910, assembled into eight linear chromosomes (ranging 702–3790 bp) and encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs (rns and rnl), and one tRNA (trnM ...
