Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Not All Ctenophores Are Bioluminescent: Pleurobrachia
The Biological Bulletin, 1995 The traditional view has been that all species of the phylum Ctenophora are capable of producing light. Our inability to elicit luminescence from members of the well-known genus Pleurobrachia, as well as a lack of published documentation, led to an effort to determine whether this genus is truly bioluminescent.

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

Antipredatory Escape Behaviors of Two Benthic Ctenophores in South Florida
, 2018 Benthic ctenophores, members of the family Coeloplanidae (Order Platyctenida, Phylum Ctenophora) are more widespread and abundant in tropical and subtropical marine environments than formerly recognized.

Biology, 2020 Phylogenomics, the use of large datasets to examine phylogeny, has revolutionized the study of evolutionary relationships. However, genome-scale data have not been able to resolve all relationships in the tree of life; this could reflect, at least in ...

Speciation of pelagic zooplankton: Invisible boundaries can drive isolation of oceanic ctenophores
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The study of evolution and speciation in non-model systems provides us with an opportunity to expand our understanding of biodiversity in nature. Connectivity studies generally focus on species with obvious boundaries to gene flow, but in open-ocean ...

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,
