Nervous system is one of the key adaptations underlying the evolutionary success of the
majority of animal groups. Ctenophores (or comb jellies) are gelatinous marine invertebrates …

Optimized laboratory conditions for research models are crucial for the success of scientific
projects. This includes the control of the entire life cycle, access to all developmental stages …

This paper reports an effective and easy method to culture the ctenophore Bolinopsis
mikado. Fifteen adult B. mikado individuals were maintained in a kreisel tank, and fertilized …

Ctenophores are an attractive lineage for studying animal evolution due to their early
divergence from other metazoans. Among Ctenophora, Mnemiopsis leidyi is a model system …

Reverse development, or the ability to rejuvenate by morphological reorganization into the
preceding life cycle stage is thought to be restricted to a few species within Cnidaria. To …

This study reports an effective and simple method for culturing the comb jellyfish, Beroe
cucumis. The method for breeding another comb jelly, Bolinopsis mikado, was published by …
