The sex lives of ctenophores: the influence of light, body size, and self-fertilization on the reproductive output of the sea walnut, Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Ctenophores (comb jellies) are emerging as important animals for investigating fundamental questions across numerous branches of biology (e.g., evodevo, neuroscience and biogeography).

Genomic signatures of speciation and adaptation in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Understanding how populations diverge is one of the most compelling questions in evolutionary biology but our grasp on the genomic mechanisms underpinning divergence is limited to a handful of species.

Par protein localization during the early development of Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests different modes of epithelial organization in the metazoa [PDF]
eLife, 2020 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.

Organization of the ctenophore tentacular apparatus: Adult <i>Mnemiopsis leidyi</i> lacks a canonical principal tentacle. [PDF]
iScienceSummary Ctenophores represent one of the earliest-diverging animal lineages and are distinguished by their exceptional feeding efficiency. The tentacular apparatus of Mnemiopsis leidyi mediates feeding and likely serves diverse sensory roles, yet its ...

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 ...

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
