Evolution and taxonomy in capitate hydroids and medusae (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa)
TLDR
In those families where the reduction of the medusa can be analysed, it is shown that the reduction occurred after all synapomorphies defining the genera had evolved and usually affected individual species within a genus rather than the original species from which the other species in the genus evolved.About:

The phylum Cnidaria: A review of phylogenetic patterns and diversity 300 years after Linnaeus
Marymegan Daly,Mercer R. Brugler,Paulyn Cartwright,Allen Gilbert Collins,Michael N Dawson,Daphne G. Fautin,Catherine S. McFadden,Dennis M. Opresko,Estefanía Rodríguez,Sandra L. Romano,Joel L. Stake +10 more
TL;DR: This work contrasts the Linnaean perspective on cnidarian diversity with the modern, phylogenetic perspective, and details diversity at the family level, providing phylogenetic context where possible.

Medusozoan Phylogeny and Character Evolution Clarified by New Large and Small Subunit rDNA Data and an Assessment of the Utility of Phylogenetic Mixture Models
Allen Gilbert Collins,Peter Schuchert,Antonio C. Marques,Thomas Jankowski,Mónica Medina,Bernd Schierwater +5 more
TL;DR: A newly compiled data set of nearly complete sequences of the large subunit of the nuclear ribosome (LSU or 28S) sampled from 31 diverse medusozoans greatly clarifies the phylogenetic history of Cnidaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of Medusozoa and the evolution of cnidarian life cycles
TL;DR: To investigate the evolution of cnidarian life cycles, data from the small subunit of the ribosome are used and indicate that Cnidaria is monophyletic and composed of Anthozoa and Medusozoa.

Fauna of the Mediterranean Hydrozoa
Jean Bouillon,María Dolores Medel,Francesc Pagès,Josep Maria Gili,Ferdinando Boero,Cinzia Gravili +5 more
TL;DR: This work is the most complete fauna of hydrozoans made in the Mediterranean, which includes planktonic hydromedusae, benthic polyps stages and the siphonophores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cladistic analysis of Medusozoa and cnidarian evolution
TL;DR: A cladistic analysis of 87 morphological and life history characters of medusozoan cnidarians, rooted with Anthozoa, results in the phylogenetic hypothesis (Anthozoa (Hydrozoa (Scyphozoa) (StaurozoA, Cubozoa))) and a phylogenetic classification of Medusozoa that is consistent with phylogenetic hypotheses based on cladistic results, as well as those derived from 18S analyses.

Synopsis of the Medusae of the world
TL;DR: This work was started many years ago in the form of a card-index for my own use, but later on it saved me time for my studies, and it was not difficult to keep it up to date.
