The comb jellies have more than 80 different cell types, exceeding the numbers from other groups like placozoans, sponges, cnidarians, and some deep-branching bilaterians. [ 23 ] Ranging from about 1 millimeter (0.04 in) to 1.5 meters (5 ft) in size, [ 22 ] [ 24 ] ctenophores are the largest non-colonial animals that use cilia as their main ...
This comb jelly lives freely on soft sediment, unlike other benthic ctenophora which are typically parasitic. [3] They are hermaphroditic like most platyctenids, and are also capable of asexual reproduction via body fission and regeneration. [4]
Bolinopsis infundibulum is an oblong comb jelly growing to a maximum length of about 15 cm (6 in). The thin gelatinous body wall is transparent, or occasionally milky white. There are two short tentacles with fringed edges.
Cydippida is an order of comb jellies. They are distinguished from other comb jellies by their spherical or oval bodies, and the fact their tentacles are branched, and can be retracted into pouches on either side of the pharynx. The order is not monophyletic, that is, more than one common ancestor is believed to exist. [1]
Abyssal comb jelly (Beroe abyssicola) swimmingBeroe abyssicola is a ctenophore with a flexible, highly muscular body. Being a predator, B. abyssicola uses its muscular body along with its ctene rows to swim and capture its prey, and uses its wide mouth to swallow its prey whole. [2]
Coeloplana is a genus of ctenophores (comb jellies), and are marine invertebrates. Species include: Coeloplana agniae Dawydoff, 1930; Coeloplana anthostella Song & Hwang, 2010; Coeloplana astericola Mortensen, 1927; Coeloplana bannwarthii Krumbach, 1933; Coeloplana bocki Komai, 1920; Coeloplana duboscqui Dawydoff, 1930
Beroidae is a family of ctenophores or comb jellies more commonly referred to as the beroids. It is the only known family within the monotypic order Beroida and the class Nuda . They are distinguished from other comb jellies by the complete absence of tentacles, in both juvenile and adult stages.
The comb rows bearing bands of cilia, typical of comb jellies, are absent, but one end of the animal bears a pair of well-developed, retractable tentacles that can be extended for feeding. The underside of the comb jelly is a "creeping sole", formed from the everted lining of the pharynx, [3] and on this it can move over the surface of the ...
