Molecular insights into the Darwin paradox of coral reefs from the sea anemone Aiptasia

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Symbiotic cnidarians such as corals and anemones form highly productive and biodiverse coral-reef ecosystems in nutrient-poor ocean environments, a phenomenon known as Darwin’s Paradox.

Never, Ever Make an Enemy… Out of an Anemone: Transcriptomic Comparison of Clownfish Hosting Sea Anemone Venoms

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Sea anemones are predatory marine invertebrates and have diverse venom arsenals. Venom is integral to their biology, and is used in competition, defense, and feeding.

Amphipods and sea anemones, an update [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2020
AbstractWe present an updated survey of the Amphipoda that live in association with sea anemones. These amphipods can be divided into four groups: 1) symbiotic amphipods using sea anemones mainly for protection, but feeding largely independently; 2) amphipods feeding on sea anemones, but not permanently associated; 3) symbiotic amphipods living ...

Structural and functional analysis of Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin 1 (HALT-1)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Actinoporins are a family of α-pore-forming toxins (α-PFTs) that have been identified in sea anemones. Recently, a freshwater Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin (HALT) gene family was found in Hydra magnipapillata.

Mixotrophic chemosynthesis in a deep-sea anemone from hydrothermal vents in the Pescadero Basin, Gulf of California

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2021
Background Numerous deep-sea invertebrates, at both hydrothermal vents and methane seeps, have formed symbiotic associations with internal chemosynthetic bacteria in order to harness inorganic energy sources typically unavailable to animals.

Sea Anemones, Actinoporins, and Cholesterol

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Spanish or Spanish-speaking scientists represent a remarkably populated group within the scientific community studying pore-forming proteins. Some of these scientists, ourselves included, focus on the study of actinoporins, a fascinating group of metamorphic pore-forming proteins produced within the venom of several sea anemones.

Ectosymbionts of the Sea Anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
We studied the ectosymbionts associating with the sea anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia. Ectosymbionts of seven species associated with 60.7% of S. gigantea (n=28), with a mean of 2.4 per anemone and 3.9 per occupied anemone.

Neuro- and Cardiotoxins from Sea Anemones: Structure, Function and Potential of Application in Research and Medical Practice

open access: yesВестник войск РХБ защиты, 2023
Sea anemones are well-spread everywhere in the World Ocean and represent the most ancient active poisonous organisms. Their main instrument of attack on other animals are the nematocysts – stinging organelles with the curtailed hollow thread with ...
