Background The diverse feeding habits of sea anemones have led them to be classified as
opportunistic polyphagous predators. However, most studies have focused on the diet of …

We report the first records of the sea anemones Anthopleura mariscali, Anthopleura
nigrescens, and Exaiptasia diaphana in the Protected Natural Area of Los Cóbanos and …

Actinoporins constitute a unique class of pore-forming toxins found in sea anemones that
being secreted as soluble monomers are able to bind and permeabilize membranes leading …

Anthopleura is one of the most speciose genera within the family Actiniidae. This genus is
particularly characterized by its members having both verrucae on the column and acrorhagi …

Objective To evaluate the antimicrobial and antifungal activities of the aqueous and

Abstract Sea anemones (Order Actiniaria) are a diverse group of marine invertebrates
ubiquitous across marine ecosystems. Despite their wide distribution and success, a …

Despite being important components in coastal marine systems, sea anemones have been

We report two species of sea anemones, Anthopleura nigrescens (Verrill, 1928) and
Telmatactis panamensis (Verrill, 1869), for the first time from Parque Nacional Coiba, a …

Actinoporins are highly hemolytic pore-forming proteins with a molecular mass of around 20
kDa and high affinity for sphingomyelin-containing membranes. On the crude extract of the …

As part of a biodiversity study on intertidal invertebrates, several sea anemones from the
west coast of the Baja California Peninsula were collected in June 2016. The taxonomic …
