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 ...

A historical data on the seasonal density variation of phytoplankton, zooplankton and Mnemiopsis leidyi in the South Caspian Sea [PDF]
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

An AI-generated proteome-scale dataset of predicted protein structures for the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
Abstract This Dataset Brief describes the computational prediction of protein structures for the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. Here, we report the proteome‐scale generation of 15,333 protein structure predictions using AlphaFold, as well as an updated implementation of publicly available search, manipulation, and visualization tools for these protein ...

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata)
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.

Diffusion tubes: a method for the mass culture of ctenophores and other pelagic marine invertebrates [PDF]
The culture of pelagic marine invertebrates, especially the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, has been demonstrated in past studies dating back to the 1960s; however, the mass culture of delicate pelagic invertebrates has remained elusive. By using a pair of

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.

Abstract Diatoms are among the most abundant phytoplankton that inhabit coastal ecosystems, forming large blooms that fuel coastal food webs. Although diatoms are often large and morphologically distinct, many are small or morphologically cryptic making it difficult to understand the temporal dynamics of whole diatom communities and the environmental ...

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review
Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.
