New Records of Cold-Water Corals from Korea [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
Two cold-water coral taxa, Octocorallia in the class Anthozoa and Stylasteridae in the class Hydrozoa, were identified. Deep-water samples were collected in fishing nets at depths ranging between 20 and 200 m along the coasts of the East Sea in Korea ...

Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Enhances Density and Diversity of Epifaunal Invertebrates Compared to Filamentous Mats in the Central Baltic Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study evaluates the relative importance of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) and filamentous mats in shaping epifaunal invertebrate communities in the central Baltic Sea. Our results showed that diversity, vertical structure, and biomass of SAV were all positively associated with higher total epifaunal abundance and greater abundance of ...

Coevolution of the Tlx homeobox gene with medusa development (Cnidaria: Medusozoa)

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Cnidarians display a wide diversity of life cycles. Among the main cnidarian clades, only Medusozoa possesses a swimming life cycle stage called the medusa, alternating with a benthic polyp stage.

Assessing conservation priorities for seahorses in Brazil reveals gaps in current protected areas

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Seahorses are rare and threatened marine species facing increasing risks from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Understanding their distribution is critical for effective conservation planning, yet comprehensive studies are limited, including in Brazil. This study aimed to conduct a gap analysis and identify priority areas for seahorse

Photosynthetic planulae and planktonic hydroids: contrasting strategies of propagule survival

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2000
Settlement delays can be important to prevent propagule waste when proper settling substrates are not immediately available. Under laboratory conditions, the planulae of Clytia viridicans underwent two alternative developmental patterns.

Metabarcoding Unveils the Diversity and Dynamics of In Situ Diet and Symbionts Associated With Copepods in Chinese Coastal Waters

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Copepods are the key secondary producers in marine ecosystems, yet their in situ diet and symbionts remain underexplored due to technical challenges, limiting our understanding of their population dynamics and ecological functions. Using DNA metabarcoding, we jointly characterised the natural diet and symbionts of copepods across Chinese ...

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Leptothecata (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractLeptothecata are hydrozoans whose hydranths are covered by perisarc and gonophores and whose medusae bear gonads on their radial canals. They develop complex polypoid colonies and exhibit considerable morphological variation among species with respect to growth, defensive structures and mode of development. For instance, several lineages within

The Hydra of Madagascar (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales de Limnologie - International Journal of Limnology, 1999
Madagascar has been isolated from other land for about 100 million years. Thus the hydra of the island have been evolving independently of the hydra on the continents during the Tertiary geological period. On the northern continents the species of hydra cluster into four groups. Three species were found in a search of about 100 sites across Madagascar.

Additional notes on Clathrozoella drygalskii (Vanhöffen, 1910) (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2000
Study of the material of Clathrozoella drygalskii (Vanhöffen, 1910), a hydroid initially referred to the thecate hydroids but probably better classified in athecate hydroids along with such families as Hydractiniidae and Solanderiidae, has been continued

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Spirocodon saltatrix (Cnidaria; Hydrozoa; Anthoathecata) with phylogeny analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
In the present study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Spirocodon saltatrix. The mitochondrial genome was a linear form (15,752 bp long, 70.4% AT), consisting of 13 protein coding genes (cox1, cox2 ...
