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.

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 ...

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata) [PDF]
The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota may interact.

Invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Norway [PDF]
We present data on the occurrence of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Norway after the initial observations made in 2005. Our data comes from several net sampling investigations conducted along the Norwegian coast in 2008–2014, as well as beach seine bycatch from the south coast (September–October 2005–2014). In 2008–2010, M.

INVESTIGATION OF MNEMIOPSIS LEIDYI FEEDING FROM THE CASPIAN SEA ZOOPLANKTONS [PDF]
Mnemiopsis leidyi was sampled from December 2003 to March 2005 in 11 stations located along four regions AnzaH, Khazarabad, Tourkman and Gorgan Bay using METU net in the Iranian coasts of the Caspian Sea.

Par protein localization during the early development of Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests different modes of epithelial organization in the metazoa [PDF]
In bilaterians and cnidarians, epithelial cell-polarity is regulated by the interactions between Par proteins, Wnt/PCP signaling pathway, and cell-cell adhesion. Par proteins are highly conserved across Metazoa, including ctenophores.

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.
