Evaluating the phylogenetic significance of nematocyst ultrastructure for Cnidaria
Meeting Abstract P1.126 Jan. 4 Evaluating the phylogenetic significance of nematocyst ultrastructure for Cnidaria REFT, AJ; Ohio State Univ., Columbus ajreft@hotmail.com Nematocyst, intracellular capsules important for the capture of prey, defense against predators, and intraspecific aggression, are found in all cnidarians. Nematocysts vary in morphology, with more than 30 types currently recognized. However, because variation in nematocyst […]
