Evidence of diel vertical migration in Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The vertical distribution and migration of plankton organisms may have a large impact on their horizontal dispersal and distribution, and consequently on trophic interactions.

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

Cultivable microbiota associated with Aurelia aurita and Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
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

The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi regulates egg production via conspecific communication [PDF]

BMC Ecology, 2018
Background Communication between individuals of the same species is an important aspect of mating and reproduction in most animals. In simultaneously hermaphroditic species with the ability to self-fertilize, communication with conspecifics can be ...

Studying Ctenophora WBR Using Mnemiopsis leidyi.

Methods Mol Biol, 2022
AbstractCtenophores, also known as comb jellies, are a clade of fragile holopelagic, carnivorous marine invertebrates, that represent one of the most ancient extant groups of multicellular animals. Ctenophores show a remarkable ability to regenerate in the adult form, being capable of replacing all body parts (i.e., whole-body regeneration) after loss ...

Bacterial degradation of ctenophoreMnemiopsis leidyiorganic matter [PDF]

mSystems, 2023
AbstractBlooms 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. Although these blooms have the potential to cause major perturbations in the marine ecosystem, their effects on the microbial ...

Invasion pathway of the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
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.

Whole-Body Regeneration in the Lobate Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2021
Ctenophores (a.k.a. comb jellies) are one of the earliest branching extant metazoan phyla. Adult regenerative ability varies greatly within the group, with platyctenes undergoing both sexual and asexual reproduction by fission while others in the genus Beroe having completely lost the ability to replace missing body parts.

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]

Microbiology Spectrum
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.

Reverse development in the ctenophore <i>Mnemiopsis leidyi</i>. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
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 ...
