Omnivory by the Small Cosmopolitan Hydromedusa Aglaura Hemistoma [PDF]
, 2005 We investigated the feeding of the small hydromedusa, Aglaura hemistoma (bell diameter \u3c 4 mm), to determine if it occupies a trophic position similar to that of large medusae.

Medusan Morphospace: Phylogenetic Constraints, Biomechanical Solutions, and Ecological Consequences [PDF]
, 2008 Medusae were the earliest animals to evolve muscle-powered swimming in the seas. Although medusae have achieved diverse and prominent ecological roles throughout the world\u27s oceans, we argue that the primitive organization of cnidarian muscle tissue ...

Nerve net differentiation in medusa development of Podocoryne carnea
Scientia Marina, 2000 The phylum Cnidaria is the most primitive phylum with a well-developed nervous system. Planula larvae and polyps display a diffuse nerve net (plexus), which is densest in the polyp hypostome.

Character Evolution in Hydrozoa (phylum Cnidaria) [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2010 The diversity of hydrozoan life cycles, as manifested in the wide range of polyp, colony, and medusa morphologies, has been appreciated for centuries. Unraveling the complex history of characters involved in this diversity is critical for understanding the processes driving hydrozoan evolution.

The Histology ofNanomia bijuga(Hydrozoa: Siphonophora) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2014 The siphonophoreNanomia bijugais a pelagic hydrozoan (Cnidaria) with complex morphological organization. Each siphonophore is made up of many asexually produced, genetically identical zooids that are functionally specialized and morphologically distinct.
