Environmental drivers of Catostylus tagi polyp survival and reproduction: unlocking the role of temperature and salinity, supported with citizen science data [PDF]
PeerJBackground Catostylus tagi is a scyphozoan jellyfish native to Portuguese waters. While its life cycle is known, the environmental conditions that support polyp survival, trigger strobilation, and promote asexual reproduction remain unclear.

Life Cycle of Edible Jellyfish Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934 (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) Inhabiting a Brackish-Water Environment [PDF]
Animals, 2021 The edible jellyfish Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934 is harvested throughout the year at the mouth of the Perak River, Malaysia. Although this species is an important fishery resource in the local area, limited biological studies have been carried ...

Indomethacin reproducibly induces metamorphosis in Cassiopea xamachana scyphistomae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Cassiopea xamachana jellyfish are an attractive model system to study metamorphosis and/or cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis due to the ease of cultivation of their planula larvae and scyphistomae through their asexual cycle, in which the latter can bud

Neuromuscular development in the emerging scyphozoan model system, Cassiopea xamachana: implications for the evolution of cnidarian nervous systems [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 The scyphozoan Cassiopea xamachana is an emerging cnidarian model system for studying regeneration, animal-algae symbiotic relationships, and various aspects of evolutionary biology including the early emergence of animal nervous systems. Cassiopea has a

Evolution and development of scyphozoan jellyfish [PDF]
Biological Reviews, Volume 93, Issue 2, Page 1228-1250, May 2018., 2018 ABSTRACT Scyphozoan jellyfish, or scyphomedusae, are conspicuous members of many ocean ecosystems, and have large impacts on human health and industry. Most scyphomedusae are the final stage in a complex life cycle that also includes two intermediate stages: the larval planula and benthic polyp.

Embryonic and planula development in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana [PDF]
EvoDevoSome aspects of the life cycle of the scyphozoan jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana have been described in detail. Investigations of C. xamachana have largely focused on strobilation and the unusual pattern of planuloid budding at the polyp stage, in which ...

DEVELOPMENTAL ASPECTS OF STROBILATION IN AURELIA AURITA [PDF]
Publications of the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, 1973 Strolibation in Scyphozoa has been well known as a process to produce ephyrae. This process might include the basic aspect to understand the mechanism of cellular differentiation and transformation for the particular pattern of metamorphosis.
