In the four-year study, researchers created a "tree of life" for sea anemones, which are sometimes called "flowers of the sea" but are actually stationary meat-eating animals.In doing so, they ...

Anemonefishes are a group of damselfishes "that exclusively live symbiotically with sea anemones," researchers said in a July 10 study published in the peer-reviewed journal ZooKeys. They are ...

Huw Griffiths, a marine bio-geographer at the British Antarctic Survey, was eating pancakes when news broke that the wreck of the Endurance — the famed ship helmed by Ernest Shackleton that sank ...

Sea anemones sometimes eat … ants. But why? New research shows how little we know about the diets of some underwater scavengers—and the intricate connections between land and marine food webs.
