Tentacle contact between genetically different individuals of the west coast sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima initiates in one or both individuals an elaborate behavior pattern that usually results in damage to one or both animals. This aggressi

We evaluated the seasonal stability of two algal symbiont populations in the temperate intertidal sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima on San Juan Island, Washington, where the relatively thermally tolerant dinoflagellate Symbiodinium muscatinei coe

Using a wind tunnel built over a shallow pool and methods devised for measuring the performance of yacht sails, I describe aerodynamic performance in situ for the sailor-by-the-wind, Velella velella. By contrast with designers of the modern yacht mai

The common intertidal hermit crab Pagurus granosimanus learns in one or two trials to reject an attractive, novel food (beef) when illness is induced by lithium chloride injected one hour after the animal accepts and eats the beef. Crabs fed a famili

Scaling analysis provides a quantitative method for describing and comparing how qualities of organisms vary as a function of body size. However, cell level phe- nomena have been notoriously hard to analyze because animal cells and organelles have su

Previous studies suggest that large body size reduces the risk of predation for acontiate sea anemones. For two species of Metridium, we found significant increases in the length of the acontial threads and in the mean lengths of the unfired acontial

Among the common rocky shore anemones of Pacific North America, New Zealand, and Tropical Australia, clonal growth is significantly correlated with other features of the biology including aggressiveness, habitat, and body size. Individual size is mor

The common intertidal sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt) occurs in two forms the clonal aggregating form and the solitary form The obvious differences between the two apparently result from the presence of asexual reproduction in the clon
