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 Biology and Evolution, 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 understood, in large part because of the high level of divergence observed among opsins belonging to

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,

Microbiota Differences of the Comb Jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi in Native and Invasive Sub-Populations [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 The translocation of non-indigenous species around the world, especially in marine systems, is a matter of concern for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning.

Cannibalism makes invasive comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, resilient to unfavourable conditions. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2020 AbstractThe proliferation of invasive marine species is often explained by a lack of predators and opportunistic life history traits. For the invasive comb jellyMnemiopsis leidyi, it has remained unclear how this now widely distributed species is able to overcome long periods of low food availability, particularly in their northernmost exotic habitats ...

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.

Mechanisms behind the metabolic flexibility of an invasive comb jelly
Journal of Sea Research, 2014 Mnemiopsis leidyi is an invasive comb jelly which has successfully established itself in European seas. The species is known to produce spectacular blooms yet it is holoplanktonic and not much is known about its population dynamics in between. One way to gain insight on how M. leidyi might survive between blooms and how it can bloom so fast is to study

Fluid dynamics of cilia on a comb jelly
Scilight, 2019 Understanding how marine animals interact with their surrounding fluid via hairy structures known as cilia may lead to biomimetic applications in fluid transport and mixing.
