Functional Morphology and Fluid Interactions During Early Development of the Scyphomedusa Aurelia aurita [PDF]
, 2009 Scyphomedusae undergo a predictable ontogenetic transition from a conserved, universal larval form to a diverse array of adult morphologies. This transition entails a change in bell morphology from a highly discontinuous ephyral form, with deep clefts ...

Microbial arms race: Ballistic "nematocysts" in dinoflagellates represent a new extreme in organelle complexity [PDF]
, 2017 We examine the origin of harpoon-like secretory organelles (nematocysts) in dinoflagellate protists. These ballistic organelles have been hypothesized to be homologous to similarly complex structures in animals (cnidarians); but we show, using structural,

A quantitative method for maceration of hydra tissue [PDF]
, 1973 A method is described for the maceration (dissociation) of hydra tissue into single cells. The cells have characteristic morphology such that all basic types — epithelial, gland, mucous, interstitial, nematoblast, and nerve — can be distinguished ...

Venom proteome of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The nematocyst is a complex intracellular structure unique to Cnidaria. When triggered to discharge, the nematocyst explosively releases a long spiny, tubule that delivers an often highly venomous mixture of components.

Carybdea branchi, sp. nov., a new box jellyfish (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) from South Africa. [PDF]
, 2009 A common and conspicuous member of the medusan fauna of South Africa has been the subject of repeated taxonomic confusion. After having been mistakenly identified by earlier workers as either Carybdea alata or Tamoya haplonema, this large and colourful ...

Haemolytic activity and characterization of nematocyst venom from Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) [PDF]
, 2013 We investigated the haemolytic capacity of the crude venom extracted from isolated nematocysts of Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa), and evidenced the proteic fractions responsible for this activity.
