From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Survey of conserved genes across ctenophore transcriptomes.

, 2015
Dashed line indicates the maximum number of genes in this set, 248. The dotted line indicates the number of genes found in the Mnemiopsis leidyi genome. Most of the transcriptomes recovered a comparable number of genes as the genome.

Concurrent tunable structural color, luminescence, and afterglow in single ZnS: X@SiO2 spheres via SiO2‐nanoarmor and calcination decoupling collaborative strategy

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
For the first time, tunable structural color, luminescence, and afterglow are integrated into single ZnS:X@SiO2 spheres via a SiO2‐nanoarmor and calcination decoupling strategy, achieving 250–410 nm monodisperse wurtzite spheres with 91% phase conversion, 12.8% PLQY, and 12.27 s afterglow. Abstract The integration of structural color, photoluminescence,

Records of ctenophores from South Africa

PeerJ, 2021
Although ctenophores can be conspicuous components of the plankton in coastal marine ecosystems, only six species have been formally described from around South Africa. Using photographs from local community scientists, we add a further three species ( Cestum veneris, Beroe forskalii ?,

Exotic Brittle Star Interactions With Native Octocoral Epizoites: An Endemic Benthic Ctenophore in Peril?

, 2021
Widespread and large populations of the exotic eastern Pacific ophiuroid brittle star Opthiothela mirabilis now occur in southeastern Florida, extending the range of this recently introduced species from southern Brazil northward to the eastern Caribbean

Circadian regulation of reproduction and neoblast cell division in the catenulid flatworm Stenostomum virginianum (Platyhelminthes)

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Nuclear receptors from the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi lack a zinc-finger DNA-binding domain: lineage-specific loss or ancestral condition in the emergence of the nuclear receptor superfamily?

EvoDevo, 2011
Background Nuclear receptors (NRs) are an ancient superfamily of metazoan transcription factors that play critical roles in regulation of reproduction, development, and energetic homeostasis.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Molecular diversity of benthic ctenophores (Coeloplanidae) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractCoeloplanidae, the largest family of benthic ctenophores, comprises 33 species, all described based on traditional morphological characteristics, such as coloration, length, and number of aboral papillae, which are highly variable and can be affected by fixation methods and environmental conditions.
