THE TOXICITY OF PHYSALIA NEMATOCYSTS
The Biological Bulletin, 1958 The general composition and conditions of reactivity of the nematocysts and nematocyst contents of Physalia are described. A method is presented for isolation of nematocysts without contamination by other tentacular material. The nematocyst content appears to be a highly labile protein complex.

THE NEMATOCYST TOXIN OF METRIDIUM
The Biological Bulletin, 1971 1. Material discharged by isolated nematocysts of Metridium senile senile Linnaeus (1767) has been found to be toxic to crayfish Orconectes virilis Hagen (1870), O. propinquus Girard (1852), and Procambarus econfinae Hobbs (1942).2. The toxin appears to be composed of a proteinaceous, undialyzable fraction, and a dialyzable fraction containing two ...

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

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 ...

Diel activity correlates with colour pattern morphology of heterobranch sea slugs
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 6, Page 1165-1179, June 2025.The authors show that daytime activity fundamentally shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators and that colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are predominantly found in diurnal species of sea slugs. This study showcases novel methodology combining comparative phylogenetic analyses, animal vision modelling,

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.

Exploration, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2025.Single cell sequencing revealed AAG, an energy regulatory protein targeting to glycogen, was highly expressed in jellyfish stings‐induced CF patients. We postulated AAG could increase glycogen metabolism, protecting against jellyfish stings‐induced CF.

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 ...
