An emerging clock mechanism in a hydrozoan jellyfish

The timed release of gametes is an important feature of marine organisms, and in hydrozoan jellyfish is usually controlled by light. A recent study in PLOS Biology reveals an emerging endogenous clock controlling rhythmic egg release in a novel hydrozoan species.
