Parallels and contrasts between the cnidarian and bilaterian maternal-to-zygotic transition are revealed in Hydractinia embryos
A female Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus colony affixed on a glass slide, with tentacled feeding polyps extending outward into the foreground, and sexual polyps bearing pink gonophore clusters near the base. Owing to the ease with which they spawn, Hydractinia are an emerging cnidarian model to investigate early embryonic development. See Ayers et al. Download July's cover page.
