medusoid

adjective mɪˈdjuːsɔɪd

  • 1Relating to or resembling a medusa or jellyfish.

    水母型的;类水母体的;水母状的

    • Some of these medusoid fossils show clear impressions of tentacles around their margins.
    • The medusoid Aspidella is virtually ubiquitous; Hiemalora, Nemiana, Eoporpita, and Tribrachidium also are distributed in a wide range of facies.
    • The trachyline Hydrozoans possess only the medusoid form.
    • Free-living medusoid hydrozoans can be hard to tell from scyphozoans, but hydrozoan medusae generally have a muscular shelf, or velum, projecting inward from the margin of the bell.
    1. 1.1 Relating to or denoting the medusa phase in the life cycle of a coelenterate.
      (与)水母期(有关)的。比较POLYPOID (义项1)

      • Hydra never goes through a medusoid stage, and spends its entire life as a polyp.

noun mɪˈdjuːsɔɪd
Zoology
  • 1A medusa or jellyfish.

    水母体;海蜇

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Others appear to have been solitary coelenterate medusoids attached to the sea floor.
    • These are much more restricted in their distribution, possibly because they did not have as much time to disperse as the fronds and medusoids, but probably also because of environmental restrictions on their range.
    • However, this is not statistically significant for the bilaterians and only weakly significant for medusoids.
    • In colonial hydroids, the individual polyps, or zooids, are differentiated for different functions: gastrozooids feed, dactylozoids capture prey, and gonozooids give rise to medusoids with gametes.
    • Common medusoids and fronds, however, do not generally show this restriction.
    1. 1.1 A medusoid reproductive bud.
