Sea Anemones: Quiet Achievers in the Field of Peptide Toxins
Toxins, 2018 Sea anemones have been understudied as a source of peptide and protein toxins, with relatively few examined as a source of new pharmacological tools or therapeutic leads. This is surprising given the success of some anemone peptides that have been tested,

Cadherin-23 may be dynamic in hair bundles of the model sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cadherin 23 (CDH23), a component of tip links in hair cells of vertebrate animals, is essential to mechanotransduction by hair cells in the inner ear. A homolog of CDH23 occurs in hair bundles of sea anemones.

Worldwide exploration of the microbiome harbored by the cnidarian model, Exaiptasia pallida (Agassiz in Verrill, 1864) indicates a lack of bacterial association specificity at a lower taxonomic rank [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Examination of host-microbe interactions in early diverging metazoans, such as cnidarians, is of great interest from an evolutionary perspective to understand how host-microbial consortia have evolved.

Nature, 1912 IN 1904 Dr. J. R. Ashworth and I published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (vol. xxv., p. 1) observations on aged individuals of Sagartia troglodytes then and still in the possession of Miss Jessie Nelson in Edinburgh. After eight years these anemones are still in excellent health, having been in captivity for considerably more ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Ecography, EarlyView.Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Nature, 1929 WHILST in some branches of science, especially physics, there are so many workers in the field that monographs can be continually revised, in others many years must pass by before an expert can bring our knowledge up-to-date. Dr. T. A. Stephenson, one of the two leading workers on anemones at the present time, is to be congratulated on his effort to ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Gastric hemorrhage due to high pungency food?
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract We present a case of a 9‐year‐old patient who presented with hematemesis after consuming crisps with a high pungency (the so‐called ghost peppers). Blood loss resulted in a significant decrease in hemoglobin and for this reason a gastroduodenoscopy was performed.
