From #ctenophores to #scyphozoans: parasitic spillover of a burrowing sea anemone https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-72168-7

"Some #SeaAnemones have developed a unique way to overcome the challenges of ocean dispersal. These anemones parasitize jelly-like marine #animals called #CombJellies to spread more easily through the #ocean... This study has uncovered the first documented cases of parasitic anemone planulae in true jellyfish"

Scientists reveal new lineages of giant sea anemones in Japan and their surprising associations with anemonefish

Anemonefish are better taxonomists than humans https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)00990-9

"The scientists discovered that #anemonefish are better at distinguishing different populations of giant #SeaAnemones than humans. Through one or more sensory organs, these #fish identify a particular species of giant sea anemone to make their home and avoid other species."

Study illuminates the protective role of #fluorescence in neon-colored sea anemones

#FluorescentProteins generate a genetic color polymorphism and counteract #OxidativeStress in intertidal #SeaAnemones https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2317017121

"The team turned to the community platform #iNaturalist, which empowers #CitizenScientists to document #biodiversity in their quest to find locations of the sometimes rare neon-green sea anemones."

Studying #SeaAnemone genes to learn how they survive near #DeepSea #HydrothermalVents

Genetic adaptations of #SeaAnemones to #hydrothermal environment https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adh0474

"the researchers found it had 13 mitochondrial permeability transition genes... Such genes have been found to assist in detoxifying metals. Thus, having a lot of them would make sense for an organism that lives in a place with high levels of #HeavyMetals."

Starlet #SeaAnemones found to be capable of associative learning https://phys.org/news/2023-04-starlet-sea-anemones-capable-associative.html

Associative learning in the cnidarian #Nematostella vectensis https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2220685120

#Cnidaria phylum do not have a brain. They have a network of #nerves but no known organ that processes neural activity.
