Nutritional ecology of Agalma okeni and other siphonophores from the epipelagic western North Atlantic Ocean
The feeding and fishing behavior of siphonophores in their natural environment: was observed by SCUBA diving at 171 stations in warm-water areas of the Western North Atlantic Ocean. Calycophorae and Physonectae showed a two-phase cycle of fishing and swimming. The fishing posture of a siphonophore …

Underwater Robotic Propulsors Inspired by Jetting Jellyfish
… and then validated. A modular robot inspired by siphonophores was developed and initial efforts were made in laying down the foundation for understanding of this complex locomotion mechanism. Siphonophores are colonial organisms consisting of several jetting bodies attached to a central stem. An …

Locomotion and Control of Cnidarian-Inspired Robots
… propulsion of colonial animals known as siphonophores. This dissertation studies how these two extremes of underwater soft body propulsion are able to achieve simple yet effective control and locomotion, and thus inform the design of effective vehicle propulsion control and actuation. Two …
