The hidden biology of sponges and ctenophores [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015 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.

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]
PeerJ, 2016 Ctenophores (comb jellies) are emerging as important animals for investigating fundamental questions across numerous branches of biology (e.g., evodevo, neuroscience and biogeography).

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.

Evidence for involvement of Wnt signalling in body polarities, cell proliferation, and the neuro-sensory system in an adult ctenophore. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Signalling through the Wnt family of secreted proteins originated in a common metazoan ancestor and greatly influenced the evolution of animal body plans. In bilaterians, Wnt signalling plays multiple fundamental roles during embryonic development and in
