Apicortin, a Putative Apicomplexan-Specific Protein, Is Present in Deep-Branching Opisthokonts [PDF]
BiologyApicortin, a tubulin/microtubule-binding protein, was first described in 2009 as a protein characteristic of apicomplexans; it was found to be present in all Apicomplexa genomes already sequenced.

Neuromuscular organization of the benthic ctenophore, Vallicula multiformis [PDF]
Zoological LettersCtenophora is the earliest metazoan taxon with neurons and muscles. Recent studies have described genetic, physiological, and cellular characteristics of the neural and muscular systems of this phylogenically important lineage.

Evolution of glial cells: a non-bilaterian perspective [PDF]
Neural DevelopmentNervous systems of bilaterian animals generally consist of two cell types: neurons and glial cells. Despite accumulating data about the many important functions glial cells serve in bilaterian nervous systems, the evolutionary origin of this abundant ...

Flow cytometry methods for targeted isolation of ctenophore cells
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Cell suspension fluidics, such as flow cytometry (FCS) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), facilitates the identification and precise separation of individual cells based on phenotype.

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

Transposon-derived transcription factors across metazoans
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Transposable elements (TE) could serve as sources of new transcription factors (TFs) in plants and some other model species, but such evidence is lacking for most animal lineages. Here, we discovered multiple independent co-options of TEs to generate 788

Early animal evolution: a morphologist's view [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Two hypotheses for the early radiation of the metazoans are vividly discussed in recent phylogenomic studies, the ‘Porifera-first’ hypothesis, which places the poriferans as the sister group of all other metazoans, and the ‘Ctenophora-first’ hypothesis ...

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2023 Ctenophores are quick responders to coastal environmental changes and play a crucial role in marine food web dynamics. We report the environmental drivers of a ctenophore swarm (Pleurobrachia spp.) and associated ecological changes in estuarine and ...

Ctenophora flaveolata (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Tipulidae) – a cranefly species new for Russia and the Caucasus [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2019 So far, three species of craneflies from the genus Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 are known in the Caucasus for certain: C. (Ctenophora) guttata Meigen, 1818, C. (Cnemoncosis) ornata Meigen, 1818 and C. (Cnemoncosis) magnifica Loew, 1869.
