Sponges, ctenophores, and the statistical significance of syntenies. [PDF]
Shared fusions between ancestral chromosomal linkage groups have previously been used to support phylogenetic groupings, notably sponges with cnidarians and bilaterians to the exclusion of ctenophores, rendering ctenophores the sister group to all other animals.

In bilaterians and cnidarians, epithelial cell-polarity is regulated by the interactions between Par proteins, Wnt/PCP signaling pathway, and cell-cell adhesion. Par proteins are highly conserved across Metazoa, including ctenophores.

Ctenophores in the class Tentaculata are distinct from Cnidarians in that they use sticky, not stinging, tentacles to capture and subdue their prey.

Microbiota Differences of the Comb Jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi in Native and Invasive Sub-Populations
The translocation of non-indigenous species around the world, especially in marine systems, is a matter of concern for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning.

The hidden biology of sponges and ctenophores [PDF]
Animal evolution is often presented as a march toward complexity, with different living animal groups each representing grades of organization that arose through the progressive acquisition of complex traits. There are now many reasons to reject this classical hypothesis.

Results of long-term (2001-2011) monitoring investigations into the distribution of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi population in all major sea areas through the whole year (January-November) are presented. The scenario of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi development

The sex lives of ctenophores: the influence of light, body size, and self-fertilization on the reproductive output of the sea walnut, Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
Ctenophores (comb jellies) are emerging as important animals for investigating fundamental questions across numerous branches of biology (e.g., evodevo, neuroscience and biogeography).

Ctenophore reduced-order modeling.
(A) Lateral view of a ctenophore; red dots mark the position of the ctenes that circumscribe its body in eight rows. (B) Real ctene tip trajectory from a tracked time series of ctene kinematics (gray lines, spaced equally in time). (C) Ctenophore modeled

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.
