Investigating the relationship between the comb jellyfish, Mnemiopsis leidyi, and the abundance of pathogenic Vibrio spp. and harmful algae species in the Maryland Coastal Bays [PDF]
Ctenophores (Mnemiopsis leidyi) release large amounts of nutrients and organic matter that stimulate microbial growth and alter planktonic community composition. We investigated the distribution and abundance of M.

Neural connectome of the ctenophore statocyst [PDF]
Ctenophores possess a unique gravity receptor (statocyst) in their aboral organ formed by four clusters of ciliated balancer cells that collectively support a statolith.

Cultivable microbiota associated with Aurelia aurita and Mnemiopsis leidyi
The associated microbiota of marine invertebrates plays an important role to the host in relation to fitness, health, and homeostasis. Cooperative and competitive interactions between bacteria, due to release of, for example, antibacterial substances and

REGULARITIES OF LONG-TERM AND INTERSEASONAL DYNAMICS OF THE CTENOPHORE MNEMIOPSIS LEIDYI POPULATION IN THE CASPIAN SEA [PDF]
Results of long-term (2001-2011) monitoring investigations into the distribution of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi population in all major sea areas through the whole year (January-November) are presented. The scenario of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi development

Invasion pathway of the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Gelatinous zooplankton outbreaks have increased globally owing to a number of human-mediated factors, including food web alterations and species introductions. The invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi entered the Black Sea in the early 1980s.

Profielschets Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
Mnemiopsis leidyi is een ribkwal (Ctenophora) met als natuurlijk verspreidingsgebied de Atlantische kust van Noord- en Zuid-Amerika. Begin jaren ’80 werd ze met ballastwater geïntroduceerd in de Zwarte Zee van waaruit ze de aangrenzende zeeën koloniseerde.

Reproductive success of inbred strain MV31 of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in a self-sustaining inland laboratory culture system [PDF]
Ctenophores are an attractive phylogenetic lineage for studying animal evolution due to their early divergence from other metazoans. Among Ctenophora, Mnemiopsis leidyi is a model system for developmental, cellular, molecular genetic, and evolutionary ...

Bacterial degradation of ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi organic matter [PDF]
Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton, an important source of protein-rich biomass in coastal waters, often collapse rapidly, releasing large amounts of labile detrital organic matter (OM) into the surrounding water.

β-Catenin localization in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests an ancestral role in cell adhesion and nuclear function. [PDF]
Abstract Background The emergence of multicellularity in animals marks a pivotal evolutionary event, which was likely enabled by molecular innovations in the way cells adhere and communicate with one another. β‐Catenin is significant to this transition due to its dual role as both a structural component in the cadherin–catenin complex and as a ...

Reverse development in the ctenophore <i>Mnemiopsis leidyi</i>. [PDF]
Reverse development, or the ability to rejuvenate by morphological reorganization into the preceding life cycle stage is thought to be restricted to a few species within Cnidaria. To date, Turritopsis dohrnii is the only known species capable of undergoing reverse development after the onset ...
