Evidence of Cnidarians sensitivity to sound after exposure to low frequency underwater sources [PDF]
, 2016 Jellyfishes represent a group of species that play an important role in oceans, particularly as a food source for different taxa and as a predator of fish larvae and planktonic prey.

Functional Characteristics of Nematocysts Found on the Scyphomedusa Cyanea Capillata [PDF]
, 2007 Although prey capture by cnidarians is mediated through nematocysts, their influence on prey selection by cnidarians remains poorly documented. The difficulty in visualizing nematocyst–prey interactions remains the chief obstacle to understanding how the

Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Interactions between ectoparasites, reef fishes and cleaner species are well documented; however, anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) have been largely overlooked in this context. A hypothesis proposed as early as 1869 suggests that anemonefishes may experience reduced ectoparasite loads due to their symbiotic association with venomous host sea ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Hydromedusae are often overlooked in pelagic trophic ecology compared to large scyphozoans. We investigated the diet, prey selectivity, ingestion rates, digestion times, and predation impacts of the native Liriope tetraphylla and non‐indigenous species Cnidostoma fallax and Moerisia inkermanica in a subtropical estuary of the southwestern ...

Toxins, 2016 Jellyfish venoms are rich sources of toxins designed to capture prey or deter predators, but they can also elicit harmful effects in humans. In this study, an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify putative toxins and their

Toxins, 2022 To date, few studies have been carried out aimed at characterizing the toxins synthesized by hydrocorals of the genus Millepora. The purpose of this study was to explore the toxin diversity and antibacterial activity of the “fire coral” M.

Not all jellyfish are equal: isotopic evidence for inter- and intraspecific variation in jellyfish trophic ecology [PDF]
, 2015 Jellyfish are highly topical within studies of pelagic food-webs and there is a growing realisation that their role is more complex than once thought.

Bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii Chatton 1914 (Dinophyceae)
Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 666-688, April 2026.Abstract Heterotrophic dinoflagellates are important predators of phytoplankton, and many species produce bioluminescence, which is thought to serve as an antipredator function. The present study investigated the bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii, an important predator of toxic and bloom‐forming dinoflagellates ...

Brazil's Invisible Invaders: Are Craspedacusta Jellyfish a Ticking Ecological Bomb?
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The invasive freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely of Asian origin, is globally distributed, yet its invasion history in South America remains poorly understood. Following a mass mortality event of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during a jellyfish bloom in Paraná, Brazil, in March 2022, we conducted morphological and molecular ...

Stem cells of Hydra magnipapillata can differentiate into somatic cells and germ line cells [PDF]
, 1987 We investigated whether all stem cells of Hydra can differentiate both somatic cells and gametes or if a separate germ line exists in these phylogenetically old organisms.
