Spatial Distribution of Medusa Cunina octonaria and Frequency of Parasitic Association with Liriope tetraphylla (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Trachylina) in Temperate Southwestern Atlantic Waters. [PDF]
Zool Stud, 2020 This study examined the spatial distribution of the medusae phase of Cunina octonaria (Narcomedusae) in temperate Southwestern Atlantic waters using a total of 3,288 zooplankton lots collected along the Uruguayan and Argentine waters (34-56°S), which ...

Check List of Iran marine Cnidarians (Animalia, Cnidaria) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2020 There is an urgent need for quality control of marine species data published in domestic journals and open access databases. We extracted 149 accepted Cnidarian species after the quality control process on available published records on the OBIS data ...

Observations of the Deep-Sea Trachymedusa Benthocodon pedunculata [PDF]
Invertebrate Biology, 1997 Recent observations, from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) working in the Monterey Submarine Canyon in the northeast Pacific and from the Johnson Sea Link II in the northwest Atlantic, revealed the presence of the trachymedusa Benthocodon pedunculata near the bottom in both oceans.

Atlas of the neuromuscular system in the Trachymedusa
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2019 Abstract Cnidaria is the sister taxon to bilaterian animals, and therefore, represents a key reference lineage to understand early origins and evolution of the neural systems. The hydromedusa Aglantha digitale is arguably the best electrophysiologically studied jellyfish ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 12, Page 2688-2702, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The effects of environmental change on zooplankton communities, and more broadly, pelagic ecosystems are difficult to predict due to the high diversity of ecological strategies and complex interspecific interactions within the zooplankton. Trait‐based approaches can define zooplankton functional groups with distinct responses to environmental ...

Integrating siphonophores into marine food‐web ecology
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 81-95, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Siphonophores are a clade of understudied colonial hydrozoans (Cnidaria) that are abundant predators in oceanic ecosystems, with species present across the water column. We (1) synthesize current knowledge about siphonophore trophic ecology and predator–prey interactions, (2) analyze siphonophore‐prey networks to compare food‐web topology ...

The Ultrastructure of the Radial Neuromuscular System of the Jellyfish Liriope tetraphylla (Hydrozoa, Trachymedusae): Implications in Crumpling Behavior [PDF]
The Biological Bulletin, 1991 The ultrastructure of the radial neuromuscular system of the trachymedusa Liriope tetraphylla was examined to determine the morphological substrate underlying crumpling behavior--the folding of the margin into the subumbrellar cavity by radial muscle contraction. These contractions are produced by the four smooth muscle bands that run the length of the

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