Conversion of oxybenzone sunscreen to phototoxic glucoside conjugates by sea anemones and corals
Science, 2022 The reported toxicity of oxybenzone-based sunscreens to corals has raised concerns about the impacts of ecotourist-shed sunscreens on corals already weakened by global stressors.

Animals, 2021 Berghia stephanieae is a stenophagous sea slug that preys upon glass anemones, such as Exaiptasia diaphana. Glass anemones host photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbionts that sea slugs ingest when consuming E. diaphana. However, the prevalence of these

Discovery of novel peptide neurotoxins from sea anemone species
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021 As primitive metazoa, sea anemones are rich in various bioactive peptide neurotoxins. These peptides have been applied to neuroscience research tools or directly developed as marine drugs.

A ‘sea anemone’ onychomatricoma
JPRAS Open, 2021 OBJECTIVE: Here we describe the presentation, identification, operation details and subsequent histological analysis of an onychomatricoma, a benign rare subungual tumour that is often misidentified and diagnosed. METHODS: No public involvement to declare, patient was consented for surgical excision and provided verbal consent to photography and its ...

Phylogenetic relationships among deep-sea and chemosynthetic sea anemones: actinoscyphiidae and actinostolidae (Actiniaria: Mesomyaria). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Sea anemones (Cnidaria, Actiniaria) are present in all marine ecosystems, including chemosynthetic environments. The high level of endemicity of sea anemones in chemosynthetic environments and the taxonomic confusion in many of the groups to which these ...

Molecular tuning of sea anemone stinging
eLife, 2023 AbstractJellyfish and sea anemones fire single-use, venom-covered barbs to immobilize prey or predators. We previously showed that the anemoneNematostella vectensisuses a specialized voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channel to trigger stinging in response to synergistic prey-derived chemicals and touch (Weir et al., 2020). Here we use experiments and theory

Taxonomic, spatial and temporal patterns of bleaching in anemones inhabited by anemonefishes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundRising sea temperatures are causing significant destruction to coral reef ecosystems due to coral mortality from thermally-induced bleaching (loss of symbiotic algae and/or their photosynthetic pigments). Although bleaching has been intensively
