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

Extensive mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Ctenophora: insights from benthic Platyctenida
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes have been sequenced for thousands of animals and represent a molecule of choice for many evolutionary studies. Nevertheless, some animal groups have remained under-sampled.

Aggregations of a Sessile Ctenophore, Coeloplana sp., on Indo-West Pacific Gorgonians
Diversity, 2023 We document the benthic ctenophores Coeloplana sp. and Vallicula multiformis from Oman, extending their geographic range. A new Coeloplana species was found forming aggregations on gorgonians of two octocoral host genera, Melithaea and Euplexaura ...

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,

Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems
Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food webs, focusing on the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) during late winter of 2019.

Genomic insights into Wnt signaling in an early diverging metazoan, the ctenophore
EvoDevo, 2010 Background Intercellular signaling pathways are a fundamental component of the integrating cellular behavior required for the evolution of multicellularity.

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 ...

Diverse RNA interference strategies in early-branching metazoans
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Micro RNAs (miRNAs) and piwi interacting RNAs (piRNAs), along with the more ancient eukaryotic endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) constitute the principal components of the RNA interference (RNAi) repertoire of most animals.
