Gelatinous zooplankton, such as ctenophores and jellyfish, are important components of marine and brackish ecosystems and play critical roles in aquatic biogeochemistry. As voracious predators of plankton, ctenophores have key positions in aquatic food webs and are often successful invaders when introduced to new areas. Gelatinous zooplankton have strong impacts on ecosystem services, particula...

Electrogenic communication appears to have evolved independently in a variety of animal and plant lineages. Considered here are metazoan cells as disparate as the loose three-dimensional parenchyma of glass sponges, the two-dimensional epithelial sheets of hydrozoan jellyfish and the egg cell membranes of the ctenophore Beroe ovata, all of which are capable of generating electrical impulses. Ne...

The study reports the data on distribution and predatory impact of gelatinous macroplankton mesozooplankton in inshore waters Crimea April 2016. In areas, comprised Scyphomedusae Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus, 1758) three ctenophore species (Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865, Beroe ovata Bruguire, 1789, Pleurobrachia pileus (O. F. Müller, 1776). biomass dominated everywhere varied from ~ 62 to 330 ...

Fimbristylis ovata has been long used as a traditional medicine for chronic inflammatory diseases; however, there are no data regarding its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of F. ovata extracts on the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell adhesion molecule, and receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated ce...

Ctenophores are poorly known in the tropical eastern Pacific, including the southern coast of Mexico. Previous records of ctenophores along the Pacific coast have been provided mainly from northern waters. For the coast of Oaxaca state, their occurrence has only been mentioned before at phylum level. In this paper, we provide the first three records of ctenophores for the Oaxacan coast, which r...

The rhizome of Atractylodes ovata De Candolle is rich in essential oils, which are usually removed by processing. In this study, anti-oxidative abilities of essential oils and aqueous extracts of A. ovata rhizome were explored, and the influence of processing on the anti-oxidative abilities was examined. Essential oils and aqueous extracts of A. ovata were extracted by boiling water and steam d...
