Jellyfishes of the order Rhizostomeae include ecologically and economically important species predisposed to forming massive aggregations. This study reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of two rhizostomes: Cephea cephea (Forskål, 1775) and ...

We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mastigias papua (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Mastigiidae) by the data generated from the next-generation sequencing platform. The complete mitogenome of M.

Ephyrae, the early stages of scyphozoan jellyfish, possess a conserved morphology among species. However, ontogenetic transitions lead to morphologically different shapes among scyphozoan lineages, with important consequences for swimming biomechanics ...

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians
First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

An abundant sea anemone from the Carboniferous Mazon Creek Lagerstӓtte, USA
Abstract Sea anemones (Actiniaria) are among the rarest of recognized fossil organisms, even rarer than jellyfish. Here we demonstrate that the most abundant fossil in the Pennsylvanian Mazon Creek Lagerstätte of Illinois, Essexella asherae, is an infaunal or semi‐infaunal anemone. Essexella is redescribed based on a taphonomic analysis of thousands of

Identification and Verification of the Blue Pigment in the Edible Jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum)
Rhopilema esculentum is widely cultured in Chinese coastal regions and has thousand years of consumption history in China. Despite R. esculentum owns multiple colors (mainly ochre and blue) in aquaculture ponds, little is known about the pigments and color formation. This study identified and verified the blue pigment of R. esculentum.

Raising Awareness of the Severity of “Contactless Stings” by Cassiopea Jellyfish and Kin
Discussion around avoidance and mitigation of jellyfish stings has traditionally focused on swimmers and divers being mindful of their behavior relative to swimming medusae (pelagic jellyfish).

With the use of genetic tools, we revealed a divergence point between the East and West Mediterranean Sea populations that occurred 4.59 million years ago, and we propose that the western and eastern Mediterranean Sea were formed at that time. For the first time, we find that the division of the Mediterranean Sea in east and west is not at the Strait ...

We previously demonstrated that Nemopilema nomurai jellyfish venom metalloproteinases (JVMPs) play a key role in the toxicities induced by N. nomurai venom (NnV), including dermotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and lethality. In this study, we identified two full-
