from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Developmental stages of a jellyfish - steps 9-11 show strobilation.

In zoology, strobilation (also: strobilization) is a type of asexual reproduction through spontaneous constriction in body segments (strobila). Strobilation occurs during the generation change of certain cnidarians , the umbrella jellyfish (Scyphozoa).
