Ctenophores
Ctenophores are also characterized by a pair of tentacles that they spread out like a web to catch zooplankton prey, such as small crustaceans and even small fish. There is even one group of ctenophores, the Beroids, which feeds on other ctenophores, and there are also a few groups that are benthic (they absorb their comb plates following embryonic development and creep along on the ocean floor...
متن کاملConvergent evolution of neural systems in ctenophores.
Neurons are defined as polarized secretory cells specializing in directional propagation of electrical signals leading to the release of extracellular messengers - features that enable them to transmit information, primarily chemical in nature, beyond their immediate neighbors without affecting all intervening cells en route. Multiple origins of neurons and synapses from different classes of an...
متن کاملPhosphorescence in Bacillus Spores
The rapid classification and identification of bacteria and bacterial spores by non-invasive means remains largely unsolved. U.V. fluorescence is becoming an accepted method for detecting the presence of biological aerosols. In other studies, auto fluorescence of bacteria has been shown to be useful in identifying bacteria in a medical application. Our present work attempts to build on this app...
متن کاملComparative feeding behavior of planktonic ctenophores.
The phylum Ctenophora (known as comb jellies) consists of gelatinous marine carnivores found from the surface to several thousand meters depth. Their morphology can be simple or complex, ranging from a sac-like shape with no tentacles to large lobed forms with sinuous "auricles," papillae, and two different kinds of tentacles. This diversity appears to reflect adaptations to many different diet...
متن کاملThe hidden biology of sponges and ctenophores.
Animal evolution is often presented as a march toward complexity, with different living animal groups each representing grades of organization that arose through the progressive acquisition of complex traits. There are now many reasons to reject this classical hypothesis. Not only is it incompatible with recent phylogenetic analyses, but it is also an artifact of 'hidden biology', that is, blin...
