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.

Sea anemones may hold the key to the ancient origins of body symmetry. A study from the University of Vienna shows they use a molecular mechanism known as BMP shuttling, once thought unique to ...

To look both deeper and faster, the researchers worked with EMBL microscopists who built a customised 3D microscope that could capture living, fast-moving developing sea anemone larvae Credit must be ...

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 ...

Despite the long, dangerous journey depicted in Pixar's "Finding Nemo," clownfish (and other species of anemonefish) are, in real life, deeply attached to their underwater homes. As young larvae, ...
