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.

Studying Ctenophora WBR Using Mnemiopsis leidyi.
Ctenophores, 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

Evidence of diel vertical migration in Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
The vertical distribution and migration of plankton organisms may have a large impact on their horizontal dispersal and distribution, and consequently on trophic interactions.

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

Horizontally transferred genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
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

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.

The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi deploys a rapid injury response dating back to the last common animal ancestor. [PDF]
Regenerative potential is widespread but unevenly distributed across animals. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regenerative processes is limited to a handful of model organisms, restricting robust comparative analyses ...

Due to its unique variety of species, the Caspian Sea has great ecological-economic values and the people living on its coasts use this environmental asset as a source of income. Mnemiopsis leidyi’s invasion of this ecosystem in 1999, however, has led to
