Further Investigations: Phylum Cnidaria
Table of Contents
- Investigate the biological mechanism that allows for regeneration in cnidarians.
- The most venemous cnidarians in the world are known as Irukandji box jellyfish. The term is used to describe five species of cube-shaped box jellyfish, each roughly one cubic centimeter (cm3) in size. What evolutionary processes led to the potent venom of the Irukandji jellies? Why does this small jelly require such a powerful sting?
- How do oceanic currents affect the dispersal of marine cnidarians? Look at the dispersal of different cnidarian species and examine how currents have changed over time.
