Evidence of Cnidarians sensitivity to sound after exposure to low frequency underwater sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Jellyfishes represent a group of species that play an important role in oceans, particularly as a food source for different taxa and as a predator of fish larvae and planktonic prey.

A systematic comparative description of extant turtle humeri, with comments on humerus disparity and evolution based on fossil comparisons

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 11, Page 3437-3505, November 2024.
Abstract The humerus is central for locomotion in turtles as quadrupedal animals. Osteological variation across testudine clades remains poorly documented. Here, we systematically describe the humerus anatomy for all major extant turtle clades based on 38 species representing the phylogenetic and ecological diversity of crown turtles.

The Numerical Comparison of Flow Patterns and Propulsive Performances for the Hydromedusae Sarsia Tubulosa and Aequorea Victoria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The thrust-generating mechanism of a prolate hydromedusa Sarsia tubulosa and an oblate hydromedusa Aequorea victoria was investigated by solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the swirl-free cylindrical coordinates.

The influence of the Atlantic and regional climate variability on the long-term changes in gelatinous carnivore populations in the northwestern Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We investigated potential connections between climate and the population size of gelatinous carnivores in the northwestern Mediterranean. The interannual variability of large- and meso-scale climate factors was related to gelatinous carnivore dynamics by

Functional and Character Disparity Are Decoupled in Turtle Mandibles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Here, we compare functional disparity measured by biomechanical proxies and character disparity measured by discrete morphological characters in turtle jaws. Exploration of mandibular patterns reveals that several biomechanical configurations or character state combinations can lead to the same feeding type (i.e., convergence) or that high functional ...

Hydromedusae composition, occurrence, and distribution in the Caeté river estuary, Pará [PDF]

open access: yesBoletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Naturais, 2006
Species composition and spatio-temporal variation in density of hydromedusae along a salinity gradient were investigated in the Caeté river estuary, northern Brazil in June and December, 1998 (dry season) and in February and May, 1999 (rainy season). The

Hidden gems: Scattered knowledge hampered freshwater jellyfish research over the past one‐and‐a‐half centuries

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Approximately 150 years of research on freshwater jellyfish globally have resulted in a considerable amount of information. However, this is not comprehensively available to most researchers worldwide. Scattered information allows only for a fragmented view of the research field, which mediated by climate change received increasing importance.
