Distinct patterns of gene expression during regeneration and asexual reproduction in the annelid Pristina leidyi

Irene dell Olmo et al.

Summary: Through comparative transcriptomics, this study identified genes involved in anterior regeneration and asexual reproduction in annelids. The findings suggest that the genetic mechanisms controlling these processes are conserved across different animals.

Novel in situ observations of asexual reproduction in the carpet sea anemone, Stichodactyla mertensii (Stichodactylidae, Actiniaria)

Morgan F. Bennett-Smith et al.

Summary: Merten's carpet sea anemone, the largest known sea anemone species, has been found to potentially reproduce asexually in addition to sexual reproduction. This study provides direct observation and documentation of asexual fragmentation in real time, confirming a new form of reproduction in this species.

Relationship Between Asexual Reproduction of Aurelia coerulea Polyps and Jellyfish Blooms Under the Influence of Temperature Dynamics in Winter and Spring

Wenxiao Zang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of winter and spring conditions on the asexual reproduction of Aurelia coerulea polyps. It finds that temperature and feeding frequency have significant impacts on the polyps' reproduction, but these factors may not be the only ones leading to jellyfish outbreaks in the natural environment.

Hox genes regulate asexual reproductive behavior and tissue segmentation in adult animals

Christopher P. Arnold et al.

Summary: Hox genes play roles in tissue segmentation and behavior associated with asexual reproduction in adult planarian flatworms. Five Hox genes are essential for asexual reproduction, with hox3 silence resulting in supernumerary fission segments and post2b silence eliminating segmentation. The opposing roles of hox3 and post2b in segmentation are reflected in their regulation of fission behavior.

Characterization of the dynamics and variability of neuronal subtype responses during growth, degrowth, and regeneration of Nematostella vectensis

Jamie A. Havrilak et al.

Summary: The study found that the nerve net of Nematostella is dynamic, capable of scaling with changes in body size, and different neuronal subtypes display varied regenerative responses during the process.

Seasonal variation in sexual readiness in a facultatively sexual freshwater cnidarian with diapausing eggs

Jacint Tokolyi et al.

Summary: Facultative sexuality combines clonal propagation with sexual reproduction for adaptation and survival in changing environments. Environmental cues trigger sexual reproduction to ensure timely propagation for offspring survival.
