Genomic signatures of speciation and adaptation in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Understanding how populations diverge is one of the most compelling questions in evolutionary biology but our grasp on the genomic mechanisms underpinning divergence is limited to a handful of species.

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata) [PDF]
Water Biology and Security, 2023 The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota may interact.

Nitric oxide signaling in ctenophores [PDF]
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.

Invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Norway [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity Records, 2015 We present data on the occurrence of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Norway after the initial observations made in 2005. Our data comes from several net sampling investigations conducted along the Norwegian coast in 2008–2014, as well as beach seine bycatch from the south coast (September–October 2005–2014). In 2008–2010, M.

Horizontally transferred genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has had major impacts on the biology of a wide range of organisms from antibiotic resistance in bacteria to adaptations to herbivory in arthropods. A growing body of literature shows that HGT between non-animals and animals

Extracellular DNA traps in a ctenophore demonstrate immune cell behaviors in a non-bilaterian [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe formation of extracellular DNA traps (ETosis) is a first response mechanism by specific immune cells following exposure to microbes. Initially characterized in vertebrate neutrophils, cells capable of ETosis have been discovered recently in diverse ...

A customized Web portal for the genome of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2014 Mnemiopsis leidyi is a ctenophore native to the coastal waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. A number of studies on Mnemiopsis have led to a better understanding of many key biological processes, and these studies have contributed to the emergence of Mnemiopsis as an important model for evolutionary and developmental studies.

INVESTIGATION OF MNEMIOPSIS LEIDYI FEEDING FROM THE CASPIAN SEA ZOOPLANKTONS [PDF]
Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2008 Mnemiopsis leidyi was sampled from December 2003 to March 2005 in 11 stations located along four regions AnzaH, Khazarabad, Tourkman and Gorgan Bay using METU net in the Iranian coasts of the Caspian Sea.
