A morphological review of the jellyfish genus Nausithoe Klliker, 1853 (Nausithoideae, Coronatae, Scyphozoa, Cnidaria).

open access: yesZootaxa, 2023
In this study we address the diversity of the scyphozoan jellyfish genus Nausithoe Klliker, 1853 (Nausithoidae, Coronatae), questioning the feasibility of using some characters of the medusa stage to identify species and filling in gaps concerning ...

Indoles induce metamorphosis in a broad diversity of jellyfish, but not in a crown jelly (Coronatae). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Many animals go through one or more metamorphoses during their lives, however, the molecular underpinnings of metamorphosis across diverse species are not well understood.

Medusan Morphospace: Phylogenetic Constraints, Biomechanical Solutions, and Ecological Consequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Medusae were the earliest animals to evolve muscle-powered swimming in the seas. Although medusae have achieved diverse and prominent ecological roles throughout the world\u27s oceans, we argue that the primitive organization of cnidarian muscle tissue ...

Pelagic population dynamics of Aurelia sp in French Mediterranean lagoons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The pelagic dynamics of the cosmopolitan scyphozoan Aurelia sp. was investigated in three French Mediterranean lagoons, Thau, Berre and Bages-Sigean, which harbour resident populations.

Mitochondrial genome of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi and phylogenetics of Medusozoa.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The 17,922 base pairs (bp) nucleotide sequence of the linear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi (Hydrozoa, Trachylina, Limnomedusae) has been determined.

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are ...

Evidence of Cnidarians sensitivity to sound after exposure to low frequency underwater sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Diversity of Dinoflagellate Symbionts in Scyphozoan Hosts From Shallow Environments: The Mediterranean Sea and Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Symbiotic scyphozoan jellyfish are poorly understood in terms of their symbionts and traits, as well as the ecological significance of this association. Dinoflagellate symbionts of the medusae Cotylorhiza tuberculata, Phyllorhiza punctata, and Cassiopea ...
