open access: bronzeZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020
AbstractA new genus of ectoparasitic marine annelids living on ctenophores, Ctenophoricola gen. nov., is described and its feeding behaviour, reproduction and developmental stages are discussed. Its unusual morphology challenged its placement within the known marine families.

The Warty Comb Jelly in the Black Sea

2017
The warty comb jelly is a zooplankton-feeding species of tentaculate ctenophore native to western Atlantic coastal waters. In the early 1980s, it came to the Black Sea, probably with ballast water from the US East Coast. In 1988, it was already common everywhere, and in 1989, the population exploded reaching a biomass that approached 1 billion tons wet

Comb Jellies (Ctenophora): A Model for Basal Metazoan Evolution and Development

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2008
INTRODUCTIONCtenophores, or comb jellies, are a group of marine organisms whose unique biological features and phylogenetic placement make them a key taxon for understanding animal evolution. These gelatinous creatures are clearly distinct from cnidarian medusae (i.e., jellyfish).

Hydroids, Sea Anemones, Jellyfish, and Comb Jellies

1995
Abstract The Cnidaria, formerly combined with the Ctenophora (p. 133) and known as Coelenterata, are most obviously characterized by their radial, or sometimes more strictly biradial, symmetry. The basic structure is sac-like with a single terminal opening, the mouth, which also functions as an anus. The internal space is the coelenteron
