Transitions of Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata) from a native to an exotic species: a review
The genus Mnemiopsis is comprised of a single species, Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865, that has recently made the transition from a distribution limited to the Atlantic coasts of North and South America to an invasive range that includes the Black ...

The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in northern European waters and its potential impact on fisheries [PDF]
The recent invasion by Mnemiopsis in northern European waters has lead to concerns for fishery interests especially in the central Baltic Sea, where it overlaps with commercially important cod recruits on their spawning grounds.

Despite long-standing experimental interest in ctenophores due to their unique biology, ecological influence and evolutionary status, previous work has largely been constrained by the periodic seasonal availability of wild-caught animals and difficulty ...

The effect of temperature on basal metabolism of Mnemiopsis leidyi
To evaluate the influence of temperature on metabolic performance on the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, we exposed fully acclimatized adults to conditions typical for the annual variability of the Western Baltic Sea region. We derived basal metabolic rates from oxygen consumption rates of adult M.

Analysis of fishing trend and prediction of fisheries potential based on catch data analyses (case study: the Caspian Sea) [PDF]
The simple linear model and catch data from Caspian Sea during a decade were used to assess the state of the fishery in this region. Also fishery trends were analysed to determine the catch fluctuation during the period.

Nahrungsökologische Untersuchungen an der Rippenqualle Mnemiopsis leidyi im Schwarzen Meer.
Die Rippenqualle Mnemiopsis leidyi wurde Mitte der 80er Jahre von der amerikanischen Ostküste in das Schwarze Meer eingeschleppt und zeigte sich in den folgenden Jahren vielen einheimischen Arten konkurrenzüberlegen.

Extensive mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Ctenophora: insights from benthic Platyctenida
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.

COÖRDINATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE SWIMMING-PLATES OF MNEMIOPSIS LEIDYI, AGASSIZ
1. The apical organ in the aboral zone is the center from which impulses travel out into the plate rows.2. The aboral impulses synchronize the plate movements in all eight rows except during slow movements.3. At low rates of plate beating each row becomes independent.4.

Consumption rates of Mnemiopsis leidyi by butterfish, Peprilus triacanthus, ranged between 4 ml/gm dry wt/hr to 184 ml/gm dry wt/hr, depending on fish size and feeding history.

The alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi which was transported from the Black Sea into the Caspian Sea by the end 1990s has since affected this new ecosystem. We studied the spatial and temporal distribution of the ctenophore from July 2001 to July 2002 in
