Cubozoan jellyfish: an Evo/Devo model for eyes and other sensory systems

open access: yesThe International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2004
Cnidaria are the most basal phylum containing a well-developed visual system located on specialized sensory structures (rhopalia) with eyes and statocyts. We have been exploring the cubozoan jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora. In addition to containing simple photoreceptive ocelli, each rhopalium in Tridedalia has a large and small complex, camera-type ...

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Real‐Time PCR Assay and Environmental DNA Workflow for Detecting Irukandji Jellyfish, Malo bella (Cubozoa)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
This paper details the development and validation of a highly sensitive and specific quantitative PCR assay to detect and monitor Malo bella, a venomous Irukandji jellyfish species. Using targeted primers and a TaqMan MGB probe, the assay effectively detects M. bella environmental DNA in water samples.

Venom proteome of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The nematocyst is a complex intracellular structure unique to Cnidaria. When triggered to discharge, the nematocyst explosively releases a long spiny, tubule that delivers an often highly venomous mixture of components.

Thermal and Osmotic Tolerance of the Medusa Stage of ‘Irukandji’ Jellyfish: Cubozoa; Carukia barnesi

open access: yesOceans
Carukia barnesi is a small tropical Cubozoan that causes painful and potentially fatal stings (Irukandji syndrome) along the north-eastern coast of Australia during the summer monsoonal months between November and May.

Bio‐Inspired Fluorescent Calcium Sulfate for the Conservation of Gypsum Plasterwork

open access: yesSmall, Volume 20, Issue 43, October 24, 2024.
This study explores the nonclassical crystallization of calcium sulfates using calcein, aiming to develop bio‐inspired methods for tailored consolidation products in heritage conservation. Through this investigation, fluorescent nano‐bassanite (NB‐C) consolidants are synthesized.
