A ctenophore (comb jelly) employs vortex rebound dynamics and outperforms other gelatinous swimmers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Gelatinous zooplankton exhibit a wide range of propulsive swimming modes. One of the most energetically efficient is the rowing behaviour exhibited by many species of schyphomedusae, which employ vortex interactions to achieve this result.

The comb jelly opsins and the origins of animal phototransduction. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2014 Opsins mediate light detection in most animals, and understanding their evolution is key to clarify the origin of vision. Despite the public availability of a substantial collection of well-characterized opsins, early opsin evolution has yet to be fully ...

Cannibalism makes invasive comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, resilient to unfavourable conditions. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2020 The proliferation of invasive marine species is often explained by a lack of predators and opportunistic life history traits. For the invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, it has remained unclear how this now widely distributed species is able to ...

Effects of pulsed magnetic fields on cilia of comb jelly [PDF]
AIP Advances, 2019 Marine comb jellies utilize cilia, arrays of bundled protein microtubules, for propulsion in water. Previous studies have reported on the orientation of the microtubules in steady electric and magnetic fields.

Salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea limits the reproduction and population expansion of the newly invaded comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The recent invasion of the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi into northern European waters is of major public and scientific concern. One of the key features making M. leidyi a successful invader is its high fecundity combined with fast growth rates. However,
