Summary: Microplastic uptake by the common snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis) was found to involve both ingestion and external tissue adhesion, with limited preference between different particle shapes and sizes. Environmental sampling also revealed that fibres were the predominant type of microplastic taken up by A. viridis in the marine environment.

Summary: Marine coastal ecosystems are facing threats and continuous anthropogenic pressures. This study explores the response of Anemonia viridis-associated microbiota to anthropogenic stressors and finds that it exhibits plasticity but also dysbiosis in highly impacted areas.

Summary: This study reported a severe toxic reaction in a 35-year-old oceanographer following an Anemonia viridis sting. Evaluating the cnidocyst response, it found that vinegar and ammonia triggered immediate and massive discharge, while baking soda and freshwater also activated discharge but with lower intensity. Seawater was recommended as a rinse solution after A. viridis sting.

Summary: This study investigated the flexibility of symbiont acquisition in the Mediterranean snakelocks sea anemone Anemonia viridis, revealing that the composition of within-host-symbiont populations is more dependent on geographical origin of the hosts rather than lineage. The similarities in host-symbiont communities were greater among different genets, suggesting a capacity for horizontal acquisition. The mixed-mode transmission strategy in A. viridis may explain the large phenotypic plasticity observed in this anemone.

Summary: The study assesses the life history and reproductive biology of sea anemones Anemonia viridis and Exaiptasia diaphana, providing key information on the effects of environmental changes in the North Adriatic Sea. New insights on abundance fluctuations and gametogenesis of the two species were reported, including the first data on spermatogenesis of A. viridis from the Mediterranean Sea.

Summary: This study tested the physiology of the symbiotic 'peacock-tail' shrimp and its host 'Haddon's carpet' sea anemone under different pH conditions. The results suggest that exposure to lower pH levels may have deleterious effects on these organisms.

Summary: The study reveals that the microbial community associated with the jewel anemone Corynactis viridis undergoes significant changes across different seasons, shifting its ecological structure from oligotrophic anaerobic to heterotrophic ecosystem. These microbial communities are unique and distinct from those in the surrounding seawater.

Summary: This study investigates the differences and characteristics in injured and healthy tissues of the soft coral Anemonia viridis through histological investigation. In addition, positron emission tomography is used for the first time in invertebrates to study regeneration over a longer time period. The results indicate that Mediterranean anthozoan is a valuable model for studying regeneration and many events observed are highly conserved across different phyla.

Summary: Based on long-term photometric and spectroscopic analysis, the study concludes that V503 Her is not an eclipsing binary star, but a K-type bright giant showing complex multiperiodic pulsation behavior. The data suggests that it could be a hidden accreting-only symbiotic system, but the parameters of a possible companion cannot be fully confirmed or constrained.

Summary: The study demonstrates that in the interaction between clownfish and anemone, both remote and physical contact lead to a gradual convergence of their skin microbiota, which persists even after separation. The restructuring of microbiota may be associated with the recruitment of specific bacterial strains.

Summary: For the first time, this study investigated the morpho-functional characteristics of amoebocytes in the sea anemone Anemonia viridis. The study found two subpopulations of amoebocytes: granulocytes and hyalinocytes, with granulocytes having a high number of cytoplasmatic granules. Amoebocytes showed different shapes and were divided into basophil, neutrophil, or acidophil cells. They actively phagocytized yeast cells and produced superoxide anion. The study also examined the presence of hydrolytic enzymes in amoebocytes.

Summary: This study demonstrates the toxic effects of certain booster biocides on the marine ecosystem, particularly on the fluorescence of GFPs in Anemonia viridis. The results show that different concentrations of irgarol, zinc omadine, and acticide can cause a decrease of over 50% in the fluorescence intensities of GFP proteins. Therefore, the health of the ecosystem should be prioritized when proposing new antifouling paint compositions.

Summary: This study sequenced and assembled the genome of the sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida and discovered potential genes involved in the late phase of cnidarian tissue regeneration, namely GLWamide neuropeptides and sesquiterpenoid pathway genes.

Summary: The biometric investigation of cnidome in Anemonia viridis and Aiptasia couchii revealed four types of cnidae in each species, with different characteristics in different tissues. Molecular analysis was also conducted to confirm the correct classification of the specimens analyzed.

Summary: This study explores the survival and growth of bubble-tip anemones under different feeding and nutrient supply conditions. The results indicate significant effects of different treatments on the anemones' survivorship, weight loss, behavior, and symbiotic community responses. Cutting is a simple and effective culture method, but more precise regulation of nutrient supply and feeding is needed.
