| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
An article with results from this project was submitted to an international scientific journal. At the request of the reviewers, additional experiments were performed:
_Further behavioral characterization of several jellyfish neuropeptides.
_Single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) experiments to characterize the expression patterns of selected neuropeptides in jellyfish.
_Further immunohistochemical staining and signal quantification of GLWamide neuropeptide expression in jellyfish neurons.
_Bioinformatic analyses to identify homologs of GLWamide in non-jellyfish species.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The review and revision process has been slow, in part die to delayed responses from the editors/reviewers and because of multiple revision rounds.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I will continue to revise the article as per the reviewer/editor requests.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Additional experiments will need to be carried out as per the reviewer/editor requests.
