Statolith Morphometrics Can Discriminate among Taxa of Cubozoan Jellyfishes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Identification of potentially harmful cubomedusae is difficult due to their gelatinous nature. The only hard structure of medusae, the statolith, has the potential to provide robust measurements for morphometric analysis.

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.

Ocean acidification causes mortality in the medusa stage of the cubozoan Carybdea xaymacana [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractOcean pH is decreasing due to anthropogenic activities, and the consequences of this acidification on marine fauna and ecosystems are the subject of an increasing number of studies. Yet, the impact of ocean acidification (OA) on several abundant and ecologically important taxa, such as medusozoans, is poorly documented.

Seasonality in polyps of a tropical cubozoan: A latina nr mordens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A latina nr mordens have been located in large predictable spawning aggregations near Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea eight to ten days after a full moon; however, polyps have never been located in-situ.

Cell proliferation in cubozoan jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora and Alatina moseri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cubozoans (box jellyfish) undergo remarkable body reorganization throughout their life cycle when, first, they metamorphose from swimming larvae to sessile polyps, and second, through the metamorphosis from sessile polyps to free swimming medusae. In the

Population Structures and Levels of Connectivity for Scyphozoan and Cubozoan Jellyfish [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Understanding the hierarchy of populations from the scale of metapopulations to mesopopulations and member local populations is fundamental to understanding the population dynamics of any species.

Prey Capture Ecology of the Cubozoan Carukia barnesi.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Adult Carukia barnesi medusae feed predominantly on larval fish; however, their mode of prey capture seems more complex than previously described. Our findings revealed that during light conditions, this species extends its tentacles and 'twitches' them ...

Differing Effects of Vinegar on Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) and Carybdea marsupialis (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) Stings—Implications for First Aid Protocols [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 The jellyfish species that inhabit the Mediterranean coastal waters are not lethal, but their stings can cause severe pain and systemic effects that pose a health risk to humans. Despite the frequent occurrence of jellyfish stings, currently no consensus
