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

Nervous systems: Neuropeptides define enigmatic comb-jelly neurons [PDF]
The apparently simple nerve net of comb-jellies has long intrigued biologists. A new study identifies multiple unique neuropeptides in the comb-jelly nervous system and exploits these as indicators of neuronal identity and morphology.

Invasion of Danish and Adjacent Waters by the Comb Jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi—10 Years After [PDF]
The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, which comes from North America’s east coast, was observed in Danish waters for the first time in 2007. Since then, the new invader has every summer spread in Danish and adjacent waters (i.e.

Cambrian Sessile, Suspension Feeding Stem-Group Ctenophores and Evolution of the Comb Jelly Body Plan [PDF]
The origin of ctenophores (comb jellies) is obscured by their controversial phylogenetic position, with recent phylogenomic analyses resolving either sponges or ctenophores as the sister group of all other animals. Fossil taxa can provide morphological evidence that may elucidate the origins of derived characters and shared ancestries among divergent ...

Ocean current connectivity propelling the secondary spread of a marine invasive comb jelly across western Eurasia [PDF]
Aim: Invasive species are of increasing global concern. Nevertheless, the mechanisms driving further distribution after the initial establishment of non‐native species remain largely unresolved, especially in marine systems.

In 2013, the invasive marine ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi was first recorded in a true lake, Birket Qarun in the Fayum, Egyptian Desert. In 2014, it expanded in numbers and was also recorded in lake El Rayan II, south of Birket Qarun.
