Benthoplanidae, a new family of benthic ctenophores (Platyctenida), based on morphological and genetic data

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The benthic ctenophore Benthoplana meteoris (adults left and bottom, planktonic juveniles to the top right), type species for the genus, which in turn is type for the newly erected family: Benthoplanidae (Ctenophora, Platyctenida). Abstract We present a phylogenetic analysis of benthic ctenophores of the order Platyctenida, sampling all but one genus ...

A software tool ‘CroCo’ detects pervasive cross-species contamination in next generation sequencing data

BMC Biology, 2018
Background Multiple RNA samples are frequently processed together and often mixed before multiplex sequencing in the same sequencing run. While different samples can be separated post sequencing using sample barcodes, the possibility of cross ...

Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27º-56º S) [PDF]

, 2019
Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27 - 56 S), remain understudied in terms of ...

Lepocreadiidae (Trematoda) associated with gelatinous zooplankton (Cnidaria and Ctenophora) and fishes in Australian and Japanese waters.

Parasitology international
We examined gelatinous zooplankton from off eastern Australia for lepocreadiid trematode metacercariae. From 221 specimens of 17 species of cnidarian medusae and 218 specimens of four species of ctenophores, infections were found in seven cnidarian and ...

Comparative Multi‐Marker Environmental DNA Metabarcoding of Marine Metazoan Communities: Water vs. Sediment

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the metazoan biodiversity in the Southern Adriatic Sea using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Sediment and adjacent water samples were collected from three sites (one pristine, two impacted by human activities) at three distances from the coast across two seasons.

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.

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

New genomic data and analyses challenge the traditional vision of animal epithelium evolution

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The emergence of epithelia was the foundation of metazoan expansion. Epithelial tissues are a hallmark of metazoans deeply rooted in the evolution of their complex developmental morphogenesis processes.

First records of two lobate comb-jellies (Ctenophora) from the Pakistani coast [PDF]

Check List, 2015
The knowledge on the comb-jellies faunistics along the southern Asian coast is very scarce. For some countries such as Pakistan there are no previous formal records of ctenophores. This study is a first survey to the group diversity along Pakistani coast,
