RELATIONS BETWEEN NERVES AND CILIA IN CTENOPHORES [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1965 Waves of excitation, visible as ciliary waves, pass along the elongated cells of the ciliated grooves to the comb plates. The frequency of waves is controlled by the loading of the statolith on the balancer cilia, which stand at the head of the grooves. They are primitive mechanoreceptor cilia.

Conserved expression of vertebrate microvillar gene homologs in choanocytes of freshwater sponges
EvoDevo, 2016 Background The microvillus is a versatile organelle that serves important functions in disparate animal cell types. However, from a molecular perspective, the microvillus has been well studied in only a few, predominantly vertebrate, contexts.

Microbial Landscapes of Corals and Ctenophores
, 2011 As technology and engineering allow mankind to survey nature at finer scales, the importance of bacteria has been elucidated in their metabolic diversity, ability to transfer genetic information, involvement in biogeochemical cycling, and sheer abundance.

High prey capture efficiencies of oceanic epipelagic lobate and cestid ctenophores
Ctenophores are numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic communities around the world. The ctenophore community is often comprised of several common, co-occurring lobate and cestid genera.

Making Neurobots and Chimerical Ctenophores
Abstract Making living machines using biological materials (cells, tissues, and organs) is one of the challenges in developmental biology and modern biomedicine. Constraints in regeneration potential and immune self-defense mechanisms limit the progress in the field.

Ctenophores are a highly impactful predatory guild in open oceanic ecosystems
The emergence of optical plankton sampling techniques has revealed that gelatinous zooplankton predators are considerably more numerous than previously observed.1,2 This recognition of the widespread presence of gelatinous zooplankton challenges our ...
