Drivers behind the diversity and distribution of a widespread midwater narcomedusa
Limnology and Oceanography, 2023 AbstractNarcomedusae play a key role as top‐down regulators in the midwater, the largest and most understudied biome on Earth. Here, we used ecological niche modeling in three‐dimensions (3D), ecomorphology, and phylogeny, to answer evolutionary and ecological questions about the widespread narcomedusan genus Solmissus.

New records of Pegantha spp. (Hydrozoa: Narcomedusae) off Northern Brazil
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018 Specimens of Pegantha laevis H.B. Bigelow, 1909 and Pegantha triloba Haeckel, 1879 were found in oceanic waters off the northern Brazilian coast. The former species is clearly distinct due to the thickness and shape of peripheral channels, while the ...

Morphology and distribution of a deep-water Narcomedusa (Solmarisidae) from the northeast Pacific
Scientia Marina, 2000 Specimens of Solmaris sp. (Solmarisidae, Narcomedusae) with only four tentacles were collected in the northeast Pacific. The majority were collected in Canadian Pacific waters by Tucker trawl from stations outside the 500-m contour off the west coast of ...

Cnidarian Parasites on Solmissus incisa, a Narcomedusa
Scientia Marina, 2000 A narcomedusa, Solmissus incisa, was collected off central California in the Monterey Submarine Canyon at 230 m in October 1996. The medusa was viewed and collected from the RV Point Lobos using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana.

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

Two swimming modes in Trachymedusae; bell kinematics and the role of giant axons. [PDF]
J Exp Biol, 2021 Although members of the Rhopalonematidae family (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Trachymedusae) are known to exhibit unusually powerful jet swimming in addition to their more normal slow swimming behaviour, for the most part, reports are rare and anecdotal.

Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27°-56° S). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 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 ...
