Association between a fish and box jellyfish during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark. [PDF]
Abstract Fish‐cubomedusa associations are less frequently reported than those involving scyphozoans and are typically limited to larval or juvenile fishes without an explicit predator context. Here, we report an adult fish associating with the cubozoan Morbakka sp. during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark at Magnetic Island, Australia. [Correction

Abundance patterns of cubozoans on and near the Great Barrier Reef
The ecology of cubozoans is poorly understood and there are few quantitative studies on their distribution patterns. Sampling was designed to test first for variation in abundance with distance across the continental shelf in waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

New records of Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida) along the southeastern Florida coastline [PDF]
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

Ultrastructure of the Retinal Synapses in Cubozoans [PDF]
Cubomedusae (box jellyfish) are well known for strong directional swimming, rapid responses to visual stimuli, and complex lensed eyes comparable to those of more advanced multicellular animals. They possess a total of 24 eyes that are of four morphologically different types, yet little is known about the neural organization of their eyes. The eyes are

In this study, we provide a model‐based estimate of potential community changes in macrozooplankton composition and estimate for the first time their effects on benthic food supply and the ocean carbon cycle under two 21st‐century climate‐change scenarios.

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians
First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

The complex role of microbial metabolic activity in fossilization
ABSTRACT Bacteria play an important role in the fossilization of soft tissues; their metabolic activities drive the destruction of the tissues and also strongly influence mineralization. Some environmental conditions, such as anoxia, cold temperatures, and high salinity, are considered widely to promote fossilization by modulating bacterial activity ...
