Researchers employed interdisciplinary approaches to show how sea anemone 'exercise' changes their developing size and shape, uncovering an intimate relationship between behavior and body development.

As humans, we know that an active lifestyle gives us some control over our form. When we hit the pavement, track our steps, and head to the gym, we can maintain muscle development and reduce body fat.

Thousands of feet deep in the South Pacific Ocean, a pair of scientists piloted a submersible through the dark waters and scanned the seafloor. Some pale creatures with dozens of tentacles caught ...

Hormonal changes caused by motorboat noise cause clownfish to hide, skip meals and attack their neighbours - putting damselfish in distress. Working on the reefs around Moorea in French Polynesia, an ...

The first description of clashing armies of sea anemones has revealed unsuspected military tactics. “Sea anemone fights are amazing,” says David Ayre of the University of Wollongong in Australia.

There are thousands of different species of sea anemones in the ocean with some living as far deep as 32,000 feet. Anemones are marine invertebrates that are closely related to jellyfish. This ...

When I joined the rocky intertidal lab of Jennifer Burnaford, Cal State Fullerton associate professor of biological science, I had almost zero hands-on experience or knowledge in marine ecosystems. I ...

Warrior anemones reach over from several rows behind the front to attack animals from a neighboring colony. Clashing colonies of sea anemones fight as organized armies with distinct castes of warriors ...

As humans, we know that an active lifestyle gives us some control over our form. When we hit the pavement, track our steps, and head to the gym, we can maintain muscle development and reduce body fat.

Working on the reefs around Moorea in French Polynesia, an international team of scientists exposed 40 pairs of clownfish to recordings of natural reef sounds or motorboat noise for up to two days.
