Atlas of Neuromuscular Organization in the Ctenophore, Pleurobrachia bachei (A. Agassiz, 1860) [PDF]
, 2018 Enigmatic ctenophores are descendants of one of the earliest branching metazoan lineage. Their nervous systems are equally elusive. The lack of convenient neurogenic molecules and neurotransmitters suggests an extensive parallel evolution and independent origins of neurons and synapses.

Jellyfish and Ctenophores in Limfjorden (Denmark)—Mini-Review, with Recent New Observations
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2014 Limfjorden is a major Danish water system that connects the North Sea via Thyborøn Kanal in the west and to the Kattegat in the east. Limfjorden is heavily eutrophicated and certain areas suffer from oxygen depletion each summer.

Colloblasts act as a biomechanical sensor for suitable prey in Pleurobrachia [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract Ctenophores are a group of largely-planktonic, gelatinous carnivores whose most common method of prey capture is nearly a phylum-defining trait. Tentaculate ctenophores release an unknown proteinaceous adhesive from specialised colloblast cells lining their tentacles following prey contact with the tentacles.

Comparative study of Hippo pathway genes in cellular conveyor belts of a ctenophore and a cnidarian
EvoDevo, 2016 Background The Hippo pathway regulates growth rate and organ size in fly and mouse, notably through control of cell proliferation. Molecular interactions at the heart of this pathway are known to have originated in the unicellular ancestry of metazoans ...

Effects of temperature and the presence of benthic predators on the vertical distribution of the ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus [PDF]
Marine Biology, 2004 This study details the investigations of the effect of temperature and the presence of predators on the vertical distribution of the ctenophore Pleurobrachia pileus. Previous studies had suggested that P. pileus moves to the sediment when exposed to colder temperatures as an energy saving strategy.
