This study uses mitogenomic and morphological data to reassess hydractiniid diversity, species boundaries, and life-cycle evolution in North Atlantic and Arctic species.

This study investigates how conspecific density and food availability influence precocious reproduction in Mnemiopsis leidyi larvae, showing density has the strongest effect.

This study reveals the cellular architecture of the ctenophore aboral organ using electron microscopy, showing synaptic and non-synaptic communication and functional convergence.

This study shows that the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi can reverse development from mature to early life stages after stress and feeding, challenging previous assumptions about reverse development being limited to cnidarians.
