Cnidarian Larvae: True Planulae, Other-Than-Planulae, and Planulae That Don’t Look Like Planulae
AbstractThe life cycle of the common ancestor of Metazoa is a widely debated topic in EvoDevo. This is intimately linked to a number of questions,...

Planula settlement and polyp morphogenesis in two bloom forming jellyfish species of the genus Cyanea Péron and Lesueur, 1810 and effects of abiotic factors on planulocysts
The negative effects of scyphozoan jellyfish blooms on ecosystems and economy are linked to planula survival, settlement success and subsequent polyp...

Onset of symbiosis in planula larvae of scleractinian corals
The flexibility of symbiosis establishment between the corals Platygyra acuta and Acropora valida with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium was examined....

Opportunistic observations of reproductive mode, larval settlement and development of a New Zealand deep-sea stony coral, Goniocorella dumosa
Little is known of the reproductive traits and dispersal potential of many deep-sea corals, and in-aquarium spawning has been observed for very few...

Stable symbiont communities persist in parents, gametes, and larvae of Montipora capitata across historical bleaching phenotypes
Parental effects on early life history stages of corals are poorly understood, but with severe environmental disturbances, these impacts may be...

Photo-movement of coral larvae influences vertical positioning in the ocean
Behaviour can have profound consequences for the dispersal potential of an organism. In the marine environment, larvae rely heavily on oceanic...

First insights into the embryo and larval biology of the antipatharian coral Antipathella wollastoni
Antipatharians are conspicuous habitat-forming coral species in shallow, mesophotic and deep sea environments worldwide. Despite their ecological...

Animal Larvae and Evolution
Many marine animals possess free-swimming larvae, with the larval morphology, behavior, and ecology showing a wide diversity within the metazoans. In...

Ocean acidification alters the thermal performance curves of brooded larvae from the reef coral Pocillopora damicornis
Establishing the thermal reaction norm of coral larvae under elevated p CO 2 is crucial to anticipate how larval dispersal and population maintenance...

Ex situ reproduction and recruitment of scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis
Sexual reproduction plays an important role in population and community structure maintenance in scleractinian corals, particularly in growth and...

Establishing Sustainable Cell Lines of a Coral, Acropora tenuis
Planula larvae of the scleractinian coral, Acropora tenuis , consist of elongated ectodermal cells and develo** inner endodermal cells. To establish...

Updated single cell reference atlas for the starlet anemone Nematostella vectensis
BackgroundThe recent combination of genomics and single cell transcriptomics has allowed to assess a variety of non-conventional model organisms in...

Gene expression alterations from reversible to irreversible stages during coral metamorphosis
For corals, metamorphosis from planktonic larvae to sedentary polyps is an important life event, as it determines the environment in which they live...

Raising predatory babies: development from fertilization to sexual maturity of the hoplonemertean Emplectonema viride (Nemertea)
Marine ribbon worms in the class Hoplonemertea were presumed to have lecithotrophic development until the recent discovery of predatory larvae in...

Induced spawning with gamete release from body ruptures during reproduction of Xenoturbella bocki
Xenoturbella is a marine invertebrate with a simple body plan, with recent phylogenomic studies suggesting that it forms the phylum Xenacoelomorpha...

Genes possibly related to symbiosis in early life stages of Acropora tenuis inoculated with Symbiodinium microadriaticum
Due to the ecological importance of mutualism between reef-building corals and symbiotic algae (Family Symbiodiniaceae), various transcriptomic...

Association between the parasitic larvae of the sea-anemone Peachia sp. (Cnidaria: Haloclavidae) and hydromedusae (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
This present study describes for the first time the annual seasonality of a peculiar association between two different groups of cnidarians in...

Early development of the threatened coral Acropora cervicornis
Acropora cervicornis underwent massive mortalities in the Caribbean Sea and its populations have failed to recover after several decades. This study...

Larval thermal conditioning does not improve post-settlement thermal tolerance in the dominant reef-building coral, Montipora capitata
Climate change-induced ocean warming has reshaped reef ecosystems as coral bleaching events continue to lead to mass coral die-offs globally. These...

Evolution of Metazoan Life Cycles and the Origin of Pelagic Larvae
AbstractThe problem of the origin of the metazoan life cycle is analyzed on the base of various hypotheses on the origin of multicellular animals....
