Genetic probes give new clues about the stunning diversity of comb jellies
August 31, 2021 – MBARI researchers have used the power of genetics to reveal the stunning diversity of delicate, gelatinous comb jellies.

December 10, 2020 – At least nine major groups of deep-sea animals, including jellies, corals, brittle stars, squids, and fish, use the same light-emitting chemical, coelenterazine, to power their displays.
July 3, 2019 – Researchers are developing computer models to learn how comb jellies evolved to live at different depths in the ocean.
Apr 9, 2018 – Marine biologist Steven Haddock and his team have embarked on an ambitious project to understand the evolutionary history of ctenophores.
May 29, 2014 – The ocean’s surface waters and the deep sea provide contrasting living conditions for marine animals. The deep sea is cold with high pressure and limited food and oxygen. The surface is warm with low pressure and more food and oxygen. The ctenophore Bolinopsis infundibulum has evolved to survive in both habitats.
