Pelagic population dynamics of Aurelia sp in French Mediterranean lagoons [PDF]
The pelagic dynamics of the cosmopolitan scyphozoan Aurelia sp. was investigated in three French Mediterranean lagoons, Thau, Berre and Bages-Sigean, which harbour resident populations.

Predation Strategies of the Portuguese Man‐of‐War Physalia physalis
ABSTRACT The Portuguese man‐of‐war Physalia physalis is widely known for causing poisoning on human beings. Physalia physalis is mostly described as a predator of fish eggs and larvae. Here, we report for the first time that large fish can also be preyed by P. physalis.

Experimental feeding rates of gelatinous predators Aurelia aurita and Mnemiopsis leidyi at low northern Baltic Sea salinity [PDF]
The effect of the northern Baltic Sea\u27s low salinity on feeding rates of a native scyphozoan Aurelia aurita and a recent invader to southern Baltic Sea, ctenophore Mnemiopsis was investigated experimentally. Incubations with Acartia spp. prey (4.19-25.

Evolutionary origin of synapses and neurons – Bridging the gap [PDF]
The evolutionary origin of synapses and neurons is an enigmatic subject that inspires much debate. Non-bilaterian metazoans, both with and without neurons and their closest relatives already contain many components of the molecular toolkits for ...

Zoology: At Last an Exit for Ctenophores [PDF]
Ctenophores, one of the most basal branches in the tree of life, have been found to have a through-gut, complete with mouth and anus. Basal animals are surprisingly complex and simplification has been rampant in animal evolution.

The phylogenetic position of ctenophores and the origin(s) of nervous systems [PDF]
Ctenophores have traditionally been treated as eumetazoans, but some recent whole genome studies have revived the idea that they are, rather, the sister group to all other metazoans.

Effect of temperature on clearance rate, daily ration and digestion time of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea [PDF]
The effect of temperature on the main feeding parameters of Mnemiopsis leidyi from the southern Caspian Sea was studied in 2002. The clearance rates and daily rations were estimated from laboratory experiments in a wide range of temperatures from 12 to ...
