We know that some animals are bilaterian—meaning they display bilateral symmetry—while others are not, but nature is rarely ...

Sea anemones may look alien, but scientists just found out they're hiding an ancient body 'blueprint' – one that most animals ...

The Elysia sea slug can shed its body and regrow it from the head down. Learn how this marine marvel cheats death.

A new study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to form their back-to-belly body axis.

The genome of the sea anemone is not as simple as we thought. The complexity of its regulatory elements is similar to that of fruit flies and other animals, suggesting the principles of gene ...

A University of Vienna study uncovers how sea anemones developed bilateral symmetry, offering new perspectives on animal evolution. Learn more.

Unlike spiders and scorpions, sea spiders didn’t go through ancient genome duplications, making them a rare window into how ...
