The complete mitochondrial genome of the Ctenophore Beroe cucumis, a mitochondrial genome showing rapid evolutionary rates

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.

Comparative algological and bacteriological examinations on biofilms developed on different substrata in a shallow soda lake [PDF]

, 2008
According to the European Water Framework Directives, benthic diatoms of lakes are a tool for ecological status assessment. In this study, we followed an integrative sample analysis approach, in order to find an appropriate substratum for the water ...

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 ...

Population genomic structure of the gelatinous zooplankton species Mnemiopsis leidyi in its nonindigenous range in the North Sea [PDF]

, 2019
Nonindigenous species pose a major threat for coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Risk management requires genetic information to establish appropriate management units and infer introduction and dispersal routes. We investigated one of the most successful

Recording cilia activity in ctenophores: effects of nitric oxide and low molecular weight transmitters

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Cilia are the major effectors in Ctenophores, but very little is known about their transmitter control and integration. Here, we present a simple protocol to monitor and quantify cilia activity and provide evidence for polysynaptic control of cilia ...

Rho Family of Ras-Like GTPases in Early-Branching Animals

Cells, 2020
Non-bilaterian animals consist of four phyla; Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Placozoa. These early-diverging animals are crucial for understanding the evolution of the entire animal lineage.

Specific immune priming in the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]

, 2013
Specific immune priming enables an induced immune response upon repeated pathogen encounter. As a functional analogue to vertebrate immune memory, such adaptive plasticity has been described, for instance, in insects and crustaceans. However, towards the

Reply to Halanych et al.: Ctenophore misplacement is corroborated by independent datasets [PDF]

, 2016
In their letter, Halanych et al. (1) criticize our recent assertion (2) that the phylogenetic placement of ctenophores as the sister group to all other animals (the Ctenophora-sister hypothesis) in three previous studies (3–5) was an artifact caused by ...

The Choanocyte Cells from Phylum Porifera, Nematocysts Cells from Phylun Cnidaria and Colloblast Cells from Ctenophora like Analogues Structures

International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology
There are three basic structures belongs to Phylum Porifera, Phylum Cnidaria and Phylum Ctenophora very important because they have similar function like to catch food, but three of them have different origin and different structuration too.
