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 ...

Cryopreservation and Cryobanking of Cells from 100 Coral Species
Cells, 2022 When coral species become extinct, their genetic resources cannot be recovered. Coral cryobanks can be employed to preserve coral samples and thereby maintain the availability of the samples and increase their potential to be restocked. In this study, we

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 ...

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral
