Molecular diversity of benthic ctenophores (Coeloplanidae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Coeloplanidae, 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 ...

Evidence for de novo Biosynthesis of the Luminous Substrate Coelenterazine in Ctenophores
iScience, 2020 Summary: Coelenterazine is a key substrate involved in marine bioluminescence which is used for light-production by at least nine phyla. Some luminous animals, such as the hydromedusa Aequorea, lack the ability to produce coelenterazine endogenously and ...

Nitric oxide signaling in ctenophores
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most ancient and versatile signal molecules across all domains of life. NO signaling might also play an essential role in the origin of animal organization.

Ctenophores: an evolutionary-developmental perspective
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016 Ctenophores are non-bilaterian metazoans of uncertain phylogenetic position, some recent studies placing them as sister-group to all other animals whereas others suggest this placement is artefactual and ctenophores are more closely allied with cnidarians and bilaterians, with which they share nerve cells, muscles and gut.

Occurrence of Isopenicillin-N-Synthase Homologs in Bioluminescent Ctenophores and Implications for Coelenterazine Biosynthesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The biosynthesis of the luciferin coelenterazine has remained a mystery for decades. While not all organisms that use coelenterazine appear to make it themselves, it is thought that ctenophores are a likely producer.

Seasonal succession of gelatinous zooplankton (medusae and ctenophores) from Mar del Plata Harbor, Argentina (SW Atlantic Ocean) [PDF]
Ecología Austral, 2019 Temporal variation of the population dynamics of the medusae and ctenophores (gelatinous zooplankton) is described over an annual cycle in the Mar del Plata Harbor, Argentina.

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 ?,

Medusae, siphonophores and ctenophores of the Magellan Region
Scientia Marina, 1999 Medusae, siphonophores and ctenophores were conspicuous and relatively abundant organisms in the Magellan Straits, Beagle Channel and adjacent waters during the Victor Hensen campaign in 1994.
