In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory and Cytotoxic Effects of Aqueous Extracts from the Edible Sea Anemones Anemonia sulcata and Actinia equina
Marine invertebrates have been attracting the attention of researchers for their application in nutrition, agriculture, and the pharmaceutical industry, among others. Concerning sea anemones (Cnidaria), little is known regarding their metabolic profiles and potential value as a source of pharmacologically-active agents. In this work, the chemical profiles of two species of sea anemones Actinia ...
متن کاملCommon sea anemones Actinia equina are predominantly sessile intertidal scavengers
Coelenteron contents of anemones Actinia equina collected from 2 shore heights (upper and lower) on 3 shores (exposed, semi-exposed and sheltered) in south-west Ireland were investigated in summer 2009. Diets of exposed and semi-exposed shore anemones were dominated by small mussels Mytilus edulis, mostly (>90%) with broken/cracked shells. The diet of anemones on the sheltered shore was dominat...
متن کاملEffects of temperature on growth rate and body size in the Mediterranean Sea anemone Actinia equina
Actinia equina is the most common sea anemone in the rocky intertidal zone of the Mediterranean coast of Israel, yet little is known about its biology in this habitat. We examined variation in polyp growth at several temperatures within the local range. Under laboratory conditions, only polyps at low temperatures (15 and 20 8C) grew, whereas those at higher temperatures (25 and 30 8C) lost body...
متن کاملFamilial strife on the seashore: aggression increases with relatedness in the sea anemone Actinia equina.
Pairwise contests occur when two individuals compete directly over ownership of an indivisible resource. Contests vary in the degree of escalation, some encounters being settled through non-injurious behaviour while others are only resolved after dangerous fighting. Here, we investigate the role of relatedness, assessed using AFLP analysis, on the occurrence of stinging during staged contests i...
