Complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Blackfordia virginica Mayer, 1910 (Cnidaria; Hydrozoa; Leptothecata) with phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Blackfordia virginica. The genome was a linear form (15,109 bp long, 73.6% AT), including 13 protein-coding genes (cox2, atp8, atp6, cox3, nad2, nad5, nad6, nad3 ...

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.

Exoskeletons of Bougainvilliidae and other Hydroidolina (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa): structure and composition [PDF]
The exoskeleton is an important source of characters for the taxonomy of Hydroidolina. It originates as epidermal secretions and, among other functions, protects the coenosarc of the polypoid stage.

Phylogenetic analysis of higher-level relationships within Hydroidolina (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) using mitochondrial genome data and insight into their mitochondrial transcription [PDF]
Hydrozoans display the most morphological diversity within the phylum Cnidaria. While recent molecular studies have provided some insights into their evolutionary history, sister group relationships remain mostly unresolved, particularly at mid-taxonomic
