ürtide
Urtide is a genus of marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, commonly associated with the class Hydrozoa. These organisms are known for their delicate, often translucent, bell-shaped or tubular bodies and their ability to form colonies or solitary forms. Urtides are primarily found in oceanic environments, ranging from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea, and they play a significant role in marine ecosystems as both predators and prey.
The characteristic features of urtides include a medusa or polyp stage in their life cycle, with specialized
Reproduction in urtides can occur sexually or asexually, with medusa or polyp forms releasing and propagating
Research on urtides provides insights into marine biodiversity, cnidarian biology, and potential bioactive compounds useful in
