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

An international collaboration featuring the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has led to ...

Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

So while the sea anemone's genome, gene repertoire, and gene regulation on the DNA level is surprisingly similar to vertebrates, its post-transcriptional regulation is undeniably plant-like -- and ...

A 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. This mechanism ("BMP shuttling ...

Abstract Fifteen species of sea anemones (Cnidaria, Actiniaria) have been recorded so far in the Colombian Caribbean, comprising approximately 28% of the total number of known species in the Caribbean ...

These unusual anemones are rarely seen on land because they spend their lives drifting in the open ocean, clinging to floating debris. They literally look like bird poop if you did not know what ...

Francisca’s cluster anemones were found growing over sea sponges or “directly” on rocky cliffs, researchers said. They preferred “coastal caves and shaded places” at depths of about 10 ...

There are thousands of different species of sea anemones in the ocean with some living as far deep as 32,000 feet. Anemones are marine invertebrates that are closely related to jellyfish. This ...

The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is also highly regenerative: it can reproduce asexually by budding and also shows no signs of aging, which makes it an interesting subject for stem cell ...

As Plotnick brushed up on sea anemone anatomy, the ambiguous blobs came into focus. “All the things that bothered us about this being a jellyfish now makes sense,” he said.
