New species of Eirenidae (Hydrozoa: Leptothecata) from the Amazonian coast (northern Brazil) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2020 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 ...

Diversity and life-cycle analysis of Pacific Ocean zooplankton by videomicroscopy and DNA barcoding: Hydrozoa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Most, but not all cnidarian species in the class Hydrozoa have a life cycle in which a colonial, asexually reproducing hydroid phase alternates with a free-swimming, sexually reproducing medusa phase. They are not well known, in part because many of them

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

Epiphytic hydroids (Hydrozoa: Anthoathecata and Leptothecata) of the World [PDF]
Check List, 2007 Hydroids are an important component of marine epiphytic communities worldwide. We compiled data from several faunistic, taxonomic, and ecologic studies to prepare a list of 200 morphotypes (46 Anthoathecates and 154 Leptothecates) and their respective ...

Check List of Iran marine Cnidarians (Animalia, Cnidaria) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2020 There is an urgent need for quality control of marine species data published in domestic journals and open access databases. We extracted 149 accepted Cnidarian species after the quality control process on available published records on the OBIS data ...

Coevolution of the Tlx homeobox gene with medusa development (Cnidaria: Medusozoa). [PDF]
Commun Biol, 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.
