The sex lives of ctenophores: the influence of light, body size, and self-fertilization on the reproductive output of the sea walnut, Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Ctenophores (comb jellies) are emerging as important animals for investigating fundamental questions across numerous branches of biology (e.g., evodevo, neuroscience and biogeography).

Regulation and Regeneration in the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
Developmental Biology, 2000 Lobate ctenophores (tentaculates) generally exhibit a remarkable ability to regenerate missing structures as adults. On the other hand, their embryos exhibit a highly mosaic behavior when cut into halves or when specific cells are ablated. These deficient embryos do not exhibit embryonic regulation, and generate incomplete adult body plans.

EvoDevo, 2016 Background An essential developmental pathway in sexually reproducing animals is the specification of germ cells and the differentiation of mature gametes, sperm and oocytes. The “germline” genes vasa, nanos and piwi are commonly identified in primordial

Stable Laboratory Culture System for the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
Methods Mol BiolCtenophores are marine organisms attracting significant attention from evolutionary biology, molecular biology, and ecological research. Here, we describe an easy and affordable setup to maintain a stable culture of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. The challenging delicacy of the lobate ctenophores can be met by monitoring the water quality, providing

LUMINESCENCE IN MNEMIOPSIS [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1924 1. In the dark adapted Mnemiopsis, mechanical stimulation causes luminescence along the eight rows of paddle plates. The tactile receptors for this reaction lie only in the paddle plate rows, and are connected only longitudinally along these rows. 2.

Response of Mnemiopsis leidyi larvae to light intensity changes
, 2020 A possible response to light of larvae of Black Sea ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi of two age groups (first to fourth day and one-two weeks after hatching) was experimentally studied. The larvae were placed in a Petri dish with seawater, in which two areas

A historical data on the seasonal density variation of phytoplankton, zooplankton and Mnemiopsis leidyi in the South Caspian Sea [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2022 The seasonal variation of phytoplankton, zooplankton (holoplankton) and ctenophore (Mnemiopsis leidyi) were investigated at eight transects from east to west in the South Caspian Sea. In spring (May), the most abundance of zooplankton was observed in the

Still Enigmatic: Innate Immunity in the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2019 Abstract Innate immunity is an ancient physiological response critical for protecting metazoans from invading pathogens. It is the primary pathogen defense mechanism among invertebrates. While innate immunity has been studied extensively in diverse invertebrate taxa, including mollusks, crustaceans, and cnidarians, this system has not ...

Causes of plankton diminishing in the Middle and South Caspian nowadays
Юг России: экология, развитие, 2015 There is shown that degradation of plankton is a result of influence of both biotic (mnemiopsis) and abiotic (concentration of mineral nitrogen) factors in the ecosystem of the Middle and South Caspian.
