Involvement of GLWamide neuropeptides in polyp contraction of the adult stony coral Euphyllia ancora

Abstract The existence and function of neurons remain largely unexplored in scleractinian corals. To gain a better understanding of neuronal functions in coral physiology, this study focused on Glycine-Leucine-Tryptophan-amide family neuropeptides (GLWamides), which have been shown to induce muscle...
