DOI: 10.1007/s00300-018-2332-3
Abstract: Knowledge of ecological interactions is integral for informed management, especially in the rapidly changing Antarctic marine ecosystem. Nonetheless, even basic ecological relationships are unknown for most benthic species, including conspicuous predatory species such as sea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02321-6
Abstract: Widespread non-native species tend to demonstrate an apparent lack of selectivity in habitat requirements, feeding regimes, and reproductive needs, while displaying a tendency to thrive in human-modified habitats. The high phenotypic plasticity typical of sessile,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12686-017-0953-4
Abstract: Cnidarian researchers currently lack an established protocol for obtaining DNA samples from animals without requiring wild capture or the disruption of normal behaviour and physiology. Herein we describe a method of obtaining DNA samples from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2020.105447
Abstract: Multiple mechanisms for plastic consumption by marine animals have been proposed based on the feeding cues and behavior of the animal studied. We investigated plastic consumption in sea anemones. We found that anemones readily consumed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.05.022
Abstract: The phylogenetic resolution provided by genome-wide data has demonstrated the usefulness of RAD sequencing to tackle long-standing taxonomic questions. Cnidarians have recently become a model group in this regard, yet species delimitation analyses have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15084
Abstract: Members of phylum Cnidaria are an ancient group of venomous animals and rely on a number of specialized tissues to produce toxins in order to fulfil a range of ecological roles including prey capture, defence… read more here.

DOI: 10.14670/hh-18-500
Abstract: There are two kinds of toxins in sea anemones: neurotoxins and pore forming toxins. As a representative of the sodium channel toxin, the neurotoxin ATX II in neurotoxin mainly affects the process of action potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.22201/ib.20078706e.2020.91.3195
Abstract: Sea anemones (order Actiniaria) are among the benthic marine invertebrate groups that commonly inhabit a wide range of coastal environments, including seagrass meadows, rocky bottoms, coral reefs, sandy patches, mangroves, and artificial substrates. However, they are typically… read more here.
