New species of Eirenidae (Hydrozoa: Leptothecata) from the Amazonian coast (northern Brazil)
Two new Eirenidae medusae species were collected on the Amazonian coast, Eutima marajoara n. sp. and Helgicirrha angelicae n. sp. The former differs from other species of the genus by the gonads extending along almost the entire length of the ...

Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27º-56º S) [PDF]
Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27 - 56 S), remain understudied in terms of ...

A comparative study of populations of Ectopleura crocea and Ectopleura ralphi (Hydrozoa, Tubulariidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Ectopleura crocea (L. Agassiz, 1862) and Ectopleura ralphi (Bale, 1884) are two of the nominal tubulariid species re-corded for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), presumably with wide but disjunct geographical ranges and similar morphologies.

Detection and distribution of Craspedacusta sowerbii: Observations of medusae are not enough [PDF]
The freshwater cnidarian Craspedacusta sowerbii, native to the Yangtze valley, has invaded lakes and ponds throughout the world. Most distribution records have to date been based on observations of the medusa (jellyfish) stage, including numerous recent ...

A fragmented metazoan organellar genome [PDF]
Background: Animal mitochondrial (mt) genomes are characteristically circular molecules of ~16–20 kb. Medusozoa (Cnidaria excluding Anthozoa) are exceptional in that their mt genomes are linear and sometimes subdivided into two to presumably four ...
