The genetic factors of bilaterian evolution
eLife, 2020 The Cambrian explosion was a unique animal radiation ~540 million years ago that produced the full range of body plans across bilaterians. The genetic mechanisms underlying these events are unknown, leaving a fundamental question in evolutionary biology ...

A Screen for Gene Paralogies Delineating Evolutionary Branching Order of Early Metazoa
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 The evolutionary diversification of animals is one of Earth’s greatest marvels, yet its earliest steps are shrouded in mystery. Animals, the monophyletic clade known as Metazoa, evolved wildly divergent multicellular life strategies featuring ciliated ...

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata)
Water Biology and Security, 2023 The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota may interact.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We described the complete mitochondrial genome of the Ctenophore Beroe cucumis, which is a circular molecule of 10,487 bp in length. The new mitochondrial genome comprised only 12 genes, making it one of the smallest animals’ mtDNA.

Aggregations of a Sessile Ctenophore, Coeloplana sp., on Indo-West Pacific Gorgonians
Diversity, 2023 We document the benthic ctenophores Coeloplana sp. and Vallicula multiformis from Oman, extending their geographic range. A new Coeloplana species was found forming aggregations on gorgonians of two octocoral host genera, Melithaea and Euplexaura ...

Collagen IV and basement membrane at the evolutionary dawn of metazoan tissues
eLife, 2017 The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary role of the ...
