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 ...

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 ...

Profielschets Mnemiopsis leidyi
, 2007 Mnemiopsis leidyi is een ribkwal (Ctenophora) met als natuurlijk verspreidingsgebied de Atlantische kust van Noord- en Zuid-Amerika. Begin jaren ’80 werd ze met ballastwater geïntroduceerd in de Zwarte Zee van waaruit ze de aangrenzende zeeën koloniseerde.

MicroRNAs and essential components of the microRNA processing machinery are not encoded in the genome of the ctenophore
BMC Genomics, 2012 Background MicroRNAs play a vital role in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in every animal with a sequenced genome examined thus far, except for the placozoan Trichoplax. The genomic repertoires of metazoan microRNAs have become

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 ...

Environmental constraints of the invasive Mnemiopsis leidyi in Scandinavian waters [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2012 We studied the seasonal dynamics of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi over its distribution range from Skagerrak into the Baltic Proper during 1 yr and related this to ambient physical and biological variables. The appearance of M. leidyi was sporadic in the Baltic Proper, with 60‐fold lower abundance than in the Skagerrak and Kattegat (mean 0 ...

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.

The effect of temperature on basal metabolism of Mnemiopsis leidyi
, 2020 To evaluate the influence of temperature on metabolic performance on the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, we exposed fully acclimatized adults to conditions typical for the annual variability of the Western Baltic Sea region. We derived basal metabolic rates from oxygen consumption rates of adult M.
