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.Understanding how marine animals interact with their surrounding fluid via hairy ...

Sequence and structural alignments reveal insights into ANKLE2 evolution and function. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract ANKLE2 is an enigmatic protein with emerging roles in cell division, development, and virus replication. While ANKLE2 orthologs are present in all animals, its domain composition has evolved over time. ANKLE2's two namesake domains, the ankyrin repeat and LEM domains (named for LAP2, Emerin, and MAN1), have clear and defined roles; however ...

Polymer-in-Cage Strategy for Pore Tuning of High-Aspect Ratio ZIF Nanoplate: Toward Sub-Micrometer-Thick Large Area CO<sub>2</sub> Separation Membranes. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)A “polymer‐in‐cage” strategy transforms a zinc‐acrylate copolymer into an active pore‐modulating agent for ZIF‐8 nanoplates. The polymer actively tunes the MOF's pore structure by anchoring within its windows, while the nanoplates create tortuous pathways.

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 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.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

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

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...
