The paper analyzes DNA captured during siphonophore genome sequencing to identify associated organisms, revealing bacterial and eukaryotic diversity.

The paper sequenced the chromosome-scale genome of Nanomia septata, revealing genome rearrangements and expansion but no clear genomic drivers for siphonophore colony-level organization.

This study investigates the mechanism of eudoxid release in siphonophores, showing it involves muscle evolution and colony modification, leading to an individual-like dispersal stage that contributes to ecological success.

The paper sequences 133 Physalia genomes and analyzes citizen-science images to reveal five distinct lineages and four species, with geographic population structure and long-distance dispersal.
