is a model cnidarian used for interdisciplinary studies in biology, yet its reproductive responses to environmental changes remain underexplored. This study examined how temperature affects asexual reproduction (budding) rates and population growth in . We placed in two thermal environments, 15°C and 25°C, to compare differences in population growth, number of budding polyps, number of buds, and budding rates under 'cold' and 'hot' conditions. Our findings indicate that populations exhibit increased growth through asexual budding at higher temperatures.
是一种用于生物学跨学科研究的典型刺胞动物，但它对环境变化的生殖反应仍未得到充分探索。本研究考察了温度如何影响无性繁殖（出芽）率以及种群增长。我们将置于15°C和25°C这两种热环境中，以比较“冷”和“热”条件下种群增长、出芽息肉数量、芽体数量和出芽率的差异。我们的研究结果表明，种群在较高温度下通过无性出芽实现增长增加。
