Phototactic preference and its genetic basis in the planulae of the colonial hydrozoan Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus

S. J. Birch, C. Provencher, L. McGee, C. DeMio, D. C. Plachetzki

The paper investigates phototactic behavior in planulae of Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus and identifies genes and neural structures involved in light sensing and settlement decisions.

Venom tradeoff shapes interspecific interactions, physiology and reproduction

J. M. Surm, S. J. Birch, J. Macrander, A. Jaimes-Becerra, A. Fridrich, R. Aharoni, R. Rozenblat, J. Sharabany, L. Appelbaum, A. M. Reitzel, Y. Moran

This study shows that reducing Nv1 toxin levels in sea anemones decreases predator defense but increases growth and reproductive rates, revealing a venom tradeoff.

Multisensory integration (MSI) by polymodal sensory neurons dictates larval settlement in a brainless cnidarian larva

S. J. Birch, D. C. Plachetzki

This study shows that multisensory integration in a brainless cnidarian larva involves polymodal sensory neurons and mechanoreceptive cnidocytes, indicating MSI predates complex brains.
