Evolutionary relationships among scyphozoan jellyfish families based on complete taxon sampling and phylogenetic analyses of 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA.
A stable phylogenetic hypothesis for families within jellyfish class Scyphozoa has been elusive. Reasons for the lack of resolution of scyphozoan familial relationships include a dearth of morphological characters that reliably distinguish taxa and incomplete taxonomic sampling in molecular studies. Here, we address the latter issue by using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods to reconstruc...
متن کاملExtraction and Purification of Collagen from the Jellyfish Catostylus mosaicus of the Persian Gulf
Background: Collagen is a protein that constitutes a major component of connective tissue and has many applications in the medical and non-medical fields. The increase in the world population and the need for proteins have led to a special focus on seafood. Furthermore, jellyfish is a rich and renewable source of collagen. Therefore, many researchers have shown interest in collagen extraction f...
متن کاملLewontin’s Paradox Resolved? In Larger Populations, Stronger Selection Erases More Diversity
A new study uses a massive comparative population genetics dataset to explore why the neutral genetic diversity of a species does not have a simple relationship to its population size.
متن کاملVisual ecology and functional morphology of cubozoa (cnidaria).
Jellyfish belong to one of the oldest extant animal phyla, the Cnidaria. The first Cnidaria appear in the fossil record 600 million years ago, preceeding the Cambrian explosion. They are an extremely successful group present in all marine environments and some freshwater environments. In contrast to many animal phyla in which vision is a primary sense Cnidarians do not, generally, employ image ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on the Effects of Functional and Non-Functional Fatigue Protocols on Dynamic Balance of Amateur Basketball Players
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of functional and non-functional fatigue protocols on the dynamic balance of amateur basketball players. Methods: Ten amateur basketball players (mean age= 21.4±1.5 years, mean height= 177.5±7.1 cm, and mean weight= 67.4±8.5 kg) volunteered to participate in this study. Stair climbing and specific basketball movement circui...
