Size‐based changes in trophic ecology and nutritional quality of moon jellyfish (Aurelia labiata)
Despite their seemingly watery constitution, jellyfish are eaten by a diverse range of predators. However, while the role of jellyfish in marine food webs is gaining attention, the nutritional value of these gelatinous organisms and how it varies remain ...

Pleurobrachia pileus and P. bachei are among the most frequently recorded ctenophores worldwide. Despite their long-standing descriptions dating back nearly 250 years, their taxonomic boundaries remain ambiguous due to the lack of definitive diagnostic ...

Not All Ctenophores Are Bioluminescent: Pleurobrachia
The traditional view has been that all species of the phylum Ctenophora are capable of producing light. Our inability to elicit luminescence from members of the well-known genus Pleurobrachia, as well as a lack of published documentation, led to an effort to determine whether this genus is truly bioluminescent.

Aim. The aim of the study is to find out what external factors may be the driving force behind the growth and population dynamics of two ecologically similar species of gelatinous macroplankton (scyphomedusa Aurelia aurita and ctenophore Pleurobrachia ...

Bioluminescence of ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus (O. F. Müller 1776)
Since the 1980s, in the Black Sea, there has been carried out intensive research of the ctenophores. The features of their distribution over the sea areas, in connection with depth, temperature and salinity, those of nutrition, respiration and reproduction, and luminescence under experimental conditions are being investigated.

Hidden diversity of Ctenophora revealed by new mitochondrial COI primers and sequences. [PDF]
Abstract The mitochondrial gene cytochrome‐c‐oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is useful in many taxa for phylogenetics, population genetics, metabarcoding, and rapid species identifications. However, the phylum Ctenophora (comb jellies) has historically been difficult to study due to divergent mitochondrial sequences and the corresponding inability to amplify ...

Characterization of geometric variance in the epithelial nerve net of the ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus [PDF]
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

Ctenophores are quick responders to coastal environmental changes and play a crucial role in marine food web dynamics. We report the environmental drivers of a ctenophore swarm (Pleurobrachia spp.) and associated ecological changes in estuarine and ...
