Hiding in plain sight—Euplokamis dunlapae (Ctenophora) in Norwegian waters
Journal of Plankton Research, 2021 Cydippid ctenophores of genus Euplokamis have been rarely reported from the north-east Atlantic in the scientific literature. The conspicuous lack of previous records is likely attributable to methodological constraints detrimental to sampling ...

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.

Genomic data do not support comb jellies as the sister group to all other animals [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding how complex traits, such as epithelia, nervous systems, muscles, or guts, originated depends on a well-supported hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationships among major animal lineages.

The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]
, 2014 The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2005 Metacercaria specimens of the genus Opechona (Trematoda: Digenea: Lepocreadiidae) are described parasitizing "coelenterates" (scyphomedusae and ctenophores) from Southeastern Brazil (São Paulo state).

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

A late-surviving stem-ctenophore from the Late Devonian of Miguasha (Canada)
Scientific Reports, 2021 Like other soft-bodied organisms, ctenophores (comb jellies) produce fossils only under exceptional taphonomic conditions. Here, we present the first record of a Late Devonian ctenophore from the Escuminac Formation from Miguasha in eastern Canada. Based

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 ...

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Extensive mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Ctenophora: insights from benthic Platyctenida
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes have been sequenced for thousands of animals and represent a molecule of choice for many evolutionary studies. Nevertheless, some animal groups have remained under-sampled.
