The sea anemone Bunodactis octoradiata (Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from southern Patagonia: morphological study and new records [PDF]
, 2014 Bunodactis Verril, 1899 comprises at present 19 nominal species of sea anemones. The validity of the genus is under discussion. The description of the species, Bunodactis octoradiata Carlgren, 1899, is insufficient for reliable identification, and ...

A genome wide survey reveals multiple nematocyst-specific genes in Myxozoa
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Myxozoa represents a diverse group of microscopic endoparasites whose life cycle involves two hosts: a vertebrate (usually a fish) and an invertebrate (usually an annelid worm). Despite lacking nearly all distinguishing animal characteristics,

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,

Novel Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers Reveal Genetic Differentiation between Two Sympatric Types of Galaxea fascicularis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The reef-building, scleractinian coral, Galaxea fascicularis, is classified into soft and hard types, based on nematocyst morphology. This character is correlated with the length of the mitochondrial non-coding region (mt-Long: soft colony type, and ...

The Chemical Composition of Sea Nettle Nematocysts
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1969 Interest in the stinging apparatus of the sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) has been stimulated recently because of the economic problem produced by this organism. Resort activity is severely curtailed during the summer season when the nettle is prevalent.
