siphonophora latin

Like the siphonophores they are not a single animal.

It is assumed to have preyed on siphonophores, like its living relatives.

And the siphonophores put on quite a show for us, even if they were small and wickedly hard to film.

Twinkling red lights are thought to attract the small fish eaten by these siphonophores.

Due to their highly specialized colonies, siphonophores have long misled scientists.

Siphonophores may grow to considerable sizes too, though they are colonial organisms, and each single animal is small.

It was a triumph of 19th century biology to discover the real nature of the siphonophores.

Muggiaea is a genus of siphonophores in the family Diphyidae.

The water was packed with siphonophores feeding on the detritus of the plant's backwash.

These are colonial siphonophores with two nectophores (swimming bells) arranged one behind the other.

Some are called siphonophores, long ropelike colonial animals twinkling on and off as they float by.

Like other hydrozoans, certain siphonophores can emit light.

The Forskaliidae are a family of siphonophores.

Siphonophores are the longest type of plankton.

For instance, startling brilliance is often seen among siphonophores, gelatinous colonial animals whose different members work in unison.

But they are not siphonophores.

Alternative affinities to be suggested, which did not stand the test of time, included the siphonophores and a coelenterate medusa.

The larva is consumed by siphonophores and chaetognaths.

They are deep-sea marine fishes that eat siphonophores.

The siphonophores exhibit the fluorescence in a flicking pattern that is used as a lure to attract prey.

This kind of set-up is also found in the siphonophores: the Portuguese Man o' War.

Robison speculates that M. microstoma steals food from siphonophores.

Salps are transparent, gelatinous marine organisms that form pelagic colonies like siphonophores.

Marrus is a genus of siphonophores.

Such large siphonophores work passively like living drift nets, moving slowly along and reeling in krill and tiny fish.

The Siphonophora have also been included in this order by some writers.

Psychotria siphonophora is a species of plant in the Rubiaceae family.

Praya is a genus of marine invertebrates in the order Siphonophora.

Especially the presumed phylogenetic distinctness of the Siphonophora is a major flaw that was corrected only recently.

They also include, however, the highly advanced colonial jellies of the Siphonophora, which were not included in the "Hydroida".

An alternate opinion considers Etacystis to be a hydrozoan, provisionally in the Siphonophora.

They are colonial, but the colonies can superficially resemble jellyfish; although they appear to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony of Siphonophora.

Other such orders were the Anthoathecatae, Actinulidae, Laingiomedusae, Polypodiozoa, Siphonophora and Trachylina.

Siphonophora (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) of Canadian Pacific Waters By Gillian Mapstone 10.

Three types are recognized: true jellyfish (Scyphozoa), hydromedusae (Hydrozoa) and colonial Siphonophora and Chondrophora.

The three genera were put in with athecate hydroids in the mid-to-late 19th century by some, whereas other authors at the time included them in the Siphonophora.

They are known to feed on a variety of organisms including Cladocera, Appendicularia, Copepoda, Hydromedusae, Siphonophora, and fish eggs.

The Siphonophorae or Siphonophora, the siphonophores, are an order of the Hydrozoa, a class of marine animals belonging to the phylum Cnidaria.

Physalia is a genus of the order Siphonophora, colonies of four specialized polyps and medusoids that drift on the surface of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans.

Physalia utriculus, also called Blue Bottle or (Indo-Pacific) Portuguese Man-of-War, is a marine hydrozoan of the order Siphonophora found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.

Aequorea medusae are eaten by the voracious scyphozoa Cyanea capillata, commonly called the Lion's Mane Jelly, as well as ctenophores, siphonophora and other hydromedusae, including documented cases of cannibalism.

Their closest living relatives, according to the modern view, are the Anthomedusae which are similar enough to have always been considered closely related, and the very apomorphic Siphonophora which were placed outside the "Hydroida".

But for the largest part, this group makes up what today is usually considered the subclass Leptolinae (or Hydroidolina) which also includes the colonial jellies of the Siphonophora which were not part of the Hydroida.

So, the hydrozoans now are at least tentatively divided into two subclasses, the Leptolinae (containing the bulk of the former "Hydroida" and the Siphonophora) and the Trachylinae, containing the others (including the Limnomedusae).

They had previously been placed either in the Anthomedusae (also known as Athecata) or the Siphonophora, and though many accepted Totton's placement, a considerable number of authors maintained them in the Anthomedusae/Athecata all the time.

As far as can be told from the molecular and morphological data at hand, the Siphonophora for example were just highly specialized "hydroids," whereas the Limnomedusae-presumed to be a "hydroid" suborder-were simply very primitive hydrozoans and not closely related to the other "hydroids."
