Recording cilia activity in ctenophores: effects of nitric oxide and low molecular weight transmitters [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Cilia are the major effectors in Ctenophores, but very little is known about their transmitter control and integration. Here, we present a simple protocol to monitor and quantify cilia activity and provide evidence for polysynaptic control of cilia ...

Nitric oxide signaling in ctenophores [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most ancient and versatile signal molecules across all domains of life. NO signaling might also play an essential role in the origin of animal organization.

Diffusion tubes: a method for the mass culture of ctenophores and other pelagic marine invertebrates [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
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

Extensive mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Ctenophora: insights from benthic Platyctenida [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes have been sequenced for thousands of animals and represent a molecule of choice for many evolutionary studies. Nevertheless, some animal groups have remained under-sampled.

Spatiotemporal variations of zooplankton community structure in the oyster (Crassostrea gigas)-macroalgae reef dual ecosystems adjacent to Luanhe River Estuary. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Majority of macrozooplankton have a wider dietary niche breadth and utilize small invertebrates, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton, so effect on primary production might be through trophic cascading effect. To better understand the ecosystem structure

Distribution, patchiness, and population densities of Pleurobrachia pileus explained [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2012
Abstract Neuroscience lacks a diverse repertoire of model organisms, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the general principles of neural function. Ctenophores display many neurobiological and experimental features which make them a promising candidate to fill this gap. They possess a nerve net distributed
