Do alien species affect native freshwater megafauna?
Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 903-914, June 2023., 2023 Abstract 1. Freshwater megafauna species (i.e., animals that can reach a body mass ≥30 kg, including fish, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians) play important roles in freshwater systems (e.g., by influencing habitat structure, trophic dynamics, or the dispersal of smaller species).

Evaluating impacts of non‐native submerged aquatic vegetation on native nekton
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The introduction and spread of non‐native species restructure native ecosystems and can be particularly impactful when invaders are ecosystem engineers or habitat‐forming species. In coastal, estuarine, and marine systems, submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), like macroalgae and seagrasses, form key habitats for nekton, serving as nurseries ...

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2014 Results of long-term (2001-2011) monitoring investigations into the distribution of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi population in all major sea areas through the whole year (January-November) are presented. The scenario of invader Mnemiopsis leidyi development

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023 Seagrass meadows and their associated biodiverse assemblages have declined globally due to environmental and anthropogenic stressors. Restoration of these critical habitats has the potential to reverse coastal biodiversity loss. Here, we tested the role of patch size (which can affect recruitment, food availability, and/or predation) in driving faunal ...

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 ...

Marine animal evolutionary developmental biology—Advances through technology development
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 580-588, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolutionary developmental biology, the interdisciplinary effort of illuminating the conserved similarities and differences during animal development across all phylogenetic clades, has gained renewed interest in the past decades. As technology (immunohistochemistry, next‐generation sequencing, advanced imaging, and computational resources ...

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2014 Analysis of environmental situation in the Caspian and other basins (the Azov and Black Sea ones) showed that the development of an adequate simulation model of hydrological factors in the Northern Caspian as Mnemiopsis leidyi habitat was impossible ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 73-84, January 2023., 2023 We developed a suite of primers to detect fish and aquatic invertebrates based on global lists of invasive species. The method used here combined high sensitivity PCR primer sets with high‐throughput sequencing (HTS), called targeted metabarcoding.

Salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea limits the reproduction and population expansion of the newly invaded comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The recent invasion of the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi into northern European waters is of major public and scientific concern. One of the key features making M. leidyi a successful invader is its high fecundity combined with fast growth rates. However,

A basin-wide Black Sea Mnemiopsis leidyi database [PDF]
Aquatic Invasions, 2011 A specific marine biological data management tool, the Black Sea Mnemiopsis leidyi database system was created within the European Commission 6th framework Black Sea SCENE project for the Black Sea region and is now being supported by the Permanent Secretariat of the Black Sea Commission. The core team of scientists studying M.
