Out of sight: aggregations of epizoic comb jellies underneath mushroom corals [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2013
Over two-thirds of all known species of comb jellies (Ctenophora) are planktonic, whereas the remainder (order Platyctenida) is composed of benthic species. Many of these are epizoic, some of which (Coeloplana spp.) are on octocorals (Matsumoto and Gowlett-Holmes 1996; Song and Hwang 2010), but none have been reported in association with scleractinians

The phylogenetic position of the comb jellies (Ctenophora) and the importance of taxonomic sampling [PDF]

Cladistics, 2004
AbstractThe transition to a vermiform body shape is one of the most important events in animal evolution, having led to the impressive radiation of Bilateria. However, the sister group of Bilateria has remained obscure. Cladistic analyses of morphology indicate that Ctenophora is the sister group of Bilateria.

New symbiotic association in marine annelids: ectoparasites of comb jellies [PDF]

Zoological 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.

Diversity and Physiological Tolerance of Native and Invasive Jellyfish/Ctenophores along the Extreme Salinity Gradient of the Baltic Sea

Diversity, 2021
Global change has led to manifold changes of marine ecosystems and biodiversity world-wide. While it has been shown that certain jellyfish and comb jelly species have increased regionally, it remains to be investigated if this is a general trend or ...

Ecological indicators reveal historical regime shifts in the Black Sea ecosystem [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background The Black Sea is one of the most anthropogenically disturbed marine ecosystems in the world because of introduced species, fisheries overexploitation, nutrient enrichment via pollution through river discharge, and the impacts of climate change.
