Lumpfish as main consumer of northern comb jelly and effective tool of its research

open access: yes, 2014
Comb jellies are difficult to catch with standard planktonic nets due to hydrodynamic features that misrepresent distribution pattern of the species. Therefore, feeding habits of fish consuming jellyfish in high amounts might be used for estimating comb ...

Speciation of pelagic zooplankton: Invisible boundaries can drive isolation of oceanic ctenophores

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
The study of evolution and speciation in non-model systems provides us with an opportunity to expand our understanding of biodiversity in nature. Connectivity studies generally focus on species with obvious boundaries to gene flow, but in open-ocean ...

A sticky thicket of glue cells: A comparative morphometric analysis of colloblasts in 20 species of comb jelly (phylum Ctenophora)

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2020
Ctenophores in the class Tentaculata are distinct from Cnidarians in that they use sticky, not stinging, tentacles to capture and subdue their prey.
