Approaches to the ethology of hydroids and medusae (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)
The behavioural patterns of 26 species of Antho- and Leptomedusae (with or without medusa stage) were investigated by video recordings. The analysed activities were: answers to mechanical stimuli, prey capture and ingestion, digestion, egestion, and ...

Ocean Acidification Alters the Predator – Prey Relationship Between Hydrozoa and Fish Larvae
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions cause a drop in seawater pH and shift the inorganic carbon speciation. Collectively, the term ocean acidification (OA) summarizes these changes. Few studies have examined OA effects on predatory plankton, e.g.

The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of hydrozoan jellyfish Eirene ceylonensis (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Eirenidae) in the coastal sea of Qinhuangdao, China [PDF]
Eirene ceylonensis, a hydrozoan jellyfish species with a complex polymorphic life cycle, is widely distributed in the Chinese coastal sea. In this study, we conducted sequencing and analysis of the first complete mitochondrial genome of E.

The mitochondrial genome of Monoserius pennarius (Linnaeus, 1758) from the East China Sea [PDF]
The species Monoserius pennarius (Linnaeus, 1758), is particularly abundant in the tropical Indo-West Pacific east of Sri Lanka, yet very limited genetic information exists for this species. Here, we report the assembled-linear mitochondrial genome of M.

Community Composition of Epibiont Hydroids of the Naturalized Alien Macroalga Acanthophora spicifera in Pichilingue, Mexico [PDF]
This study provides a detailed analysis of the community of hydrozoan epibionts of Acanthophora spicifera in La Paz Bay, Baja California Sur. The investigation was carried out in two season periods, corresponding to the warm and cold seasons on the pier ...

Life history of Perarella schneideri (Hydrozoa, Cytaedidae) in the Ligurian Sea
Perarella schneideri is a cytaeidid hydroid living in association with the bryozoan Schizoporella longirostris. In this study we have distinguished the presence of two kinds of polyps in its colonies: large gastrozooids and very extensible filiform ...

Fluctuation and diversity of Hydromedusae (Hydrozoa, Cnidaria) in a highly productive region of the Gulf of Mexico inferred from high frequency plankton sampling [PDF]
Hydrozoa medusae undergo blooms and seasonal fluctuations; however the drivers of such fluctuations are unknown. To understand how medusa populations fluctuate in response to seasonal factors such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and ...
