Non-invasive investigation of the morphology and optical properties of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea with optical coherence tomography

This study uses optical coherence tomography to investigate the morphology and optical properties of Cassiopea jellyfish, showing that white granules enhance light availability for symbionts, leading to increased carbon fixation.

Symbiotic nutrient exchange enhances the long-term survival of cassiosomes, the autonomous stinging-cell structures of Cassiopea

This study shows that dinoflagellate symbionts enhance cassiome survival through nutrient exchange, supporting their long-term viability in vitro.

The mesoglea buffers the physico-chemical microenvironment of photosymbionts in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea sp.

This study investigates how the mesoglea in Cassiopea sp. buffers O2 and pH during light-dark cycles by measuring light, O2, and pH dynamics in living specimens.

Green fluorescent protein-like pigments optimize the internal light environment in symbiotic reef building corals

The paper quantifies how GFP-like pigments in corals alter the internal light environment, showing their role in photoacclimation and photoprotection under different light conditions.

Bio-optical properties and radiative energy budgets in fed and starved scleractinian corals (Pocillopora damicornis) during thermal bleaching

This study examines how feeding affects the photosynthetic efficiency and thermal resilience of corals under stress, finding that fed corals maintain higher efficiency and resilience than unfed ones.
