Vol. 56 p. 1008—1010. Die Ausschnellung des Nesselfadens der Actinien ist weder durch die Wirkung des Meerwassers auf eine Masse im Innern der Nessel- kapsel, die dadurch aufgebläht würde, noch durch Druck oder Con- traction der Nesselzelle oder besonderer Fäden auf der Kapsel bedingt. Es handelt sich um eine chemische Wirkung: die Nesselzelle produzirt bei der Erregung ein Sekret, das die Membran der Kapsel entweder angreift oder osmotisch durchdringt und dann die Explosion her- vorruft.

The ecological success of Cnidaria is predicated on several fascinating organismal innovations including symbiosis, colonial body plans and elaborate life histories, however, understanding the origins and subsequent diversification of these traits remains difficult due to persistent uncertainty surrounding the evolutionary relationships within Cnidaria. While recent phylogenomic studies have advanced our knowledge of the cnidarian tree of life, no analysis to date has included genome scale data for each major cnidarian lineage.

BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:68 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1142-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenomics provides a robust topology of the major cnidarian lineages and insights on the origins of key organismal traits Ehsan Kayal1,2, Bastian Bentlage1,3, M. Sabrina Pankey5 , Aki H. Ohdera4 , Monica Medina4 , David C. Plachetzki5* , Allen G. Collins1,6 and Joseph F. Ryan7,8* Abstract Background: The phylogeny of Cnidaria has been a source of debate for decades, during which nearly all-possible relationships among the major lineages have been proposed. The ecological success of Cnidaria is predicated on several fascinating organismal innovations including stinging cells, symbiosis, colonial body plans and elaborate life histories. However, understanding the origins and subsequent diversification of these traits remains difficult due to persistent uncertainty surrounding the evolutionary relationships within Cnidaria. While recent phylogenomic studies have advanced our knowledge of the cnidarian tree of life, no analysis to date has included genome-scale data for each major cnidarian lineage. Results: Here we describe a well-supported hypothesis for cnidarian phylogeny based on phylogenomic analyses of new and existing genome-scale data that includes representatives of all cnidarian classes. Our results are robust to alternative modes of phylogenetic estimation and phylogenomic dataset construction. We show that two popular phylogenomic matrix construction pipelines yield profoundly different datasets, both in the identities and in the functional classes of the loci they include, but resolve the same topology. We then leverage our phylogenetic resolution of Cnidaria to understand the character histories of several critical organismal traits.

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 42.2: 301–316, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2019.42.0301 Abstract Hidden diversity under morphology–based identifications of widespread invasive species: the case of the 'well– known' hydromedusa Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester 1880. A relatively scarce number of morphological features available for delimiting closely related species and an increasingly worrisome scenario on Global Cli- mate Change causing the rapid dispersion of invasive alien species can lead to the rapid spread of reports of a given species around the world. Craspedacusta sowerbii Lankester, 1880 is considered the most widespread freshwater jellyfish species and has been reported in numerous locations on all continents except Antarctica. Recently, a few medusae attributed to C. sowerbii were collected from a water reservoir (Bin El Ouidan) in Morocco, this being the first confirmed record of the species from North Africa. The morphology of these newly collected specimens agrees well with previous descriptions, but mitochondrial (Cox1 and 16S) and nuclear ITS (ITS1–5,8S–ITS2) molecular data lead to a discussion of a more complex general view concerning the num- ber of species, synonyms and nomenclatural problems hidden behind the reports of Craspedacusta sowerbii.

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 160 (2021) 1-15 EISSN 2392-2192 Biology of reproduction of aquatic organisms: the course of oogenesis of freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii Lancester, 1880 in the Dnieper reservoir Himchik Varvara, Marenkov Oleh*, Shmyhol Nadiia Department of General Biology and Water Bioresources, Faculty of Biology and Ecology, Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, P.M.B. 49050, Dnipro, Ukraine *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii Lancester, 1880 spread around the world, including the main waterway of Ukraine – the Dnieper River. It is known that invasive species can lead to serious changes in the ecosystems in which they fall. Therefore, studies of the biology and ecology of freshwater jellyfish in new reservoirs are relevant. The aim of the work was to determine the features of the oogenesis of jellyfish C. sowerbii Lancester, 1880, predict the population size next year, and assess the potential threats they may pose to the ecology of the Dnieper reservoir. Objectives of the study: to take samples of jellyfish in the Dnieper reservoir; perform histological sections of gametes of female jellyfish; to study the course of gametogenesis of jellyfish oocytes; determine the percentage of eggs ready for ovulation in the first generation of the breeding season; to establish the values of the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio in jellyfish oocytes; to determine the peculiarities of reproduction of jellyfish of the species C. sowerbii Lancester, 1880; to predict the number of jellyfish of the next generations and to assess the possible consequences of the rapid reproduction and spread of this jellyfish on the ecosystem and fishery use of the Dnieper reservoir.
