Phenotypic plasticity in hydrozoans: morph reversibility.

Abstract excerpt

The life cycle of Hydrozoans typically comprises two phases: the polyp, either solitary or colonial, with generally a benthic habitat, and the medusa which lives in the plankton. In its typical metagenetic cycle, the medusa is budded from the polyp, which is the product of sexual reproduction of medusae. However, several alternative reproduction patterns have also been described. In particular some species are...
