Biogeogr. Ali, A. et al. Hydrobiologia 451, 295304 (2001). Mnemiopsis leidyi, the warty comb jelly or sea walnut,[1] is a species of tentaculate ctenophore (comb jelly). Despite long-standing experimental interest in ctenophores due to their unique biology, ecological influence and evolutionary status, previous work has largely been constrained by the periodic seasonal availability of wild-caught animals and difficulty in reliably closing the life cycle.

A number of studies on Mnemiopsis have led to a better understanding of many key biological processes, including regeneration and axial patterning, and these studies have contributed to the emergence of Mnemiopsis as an important model for evolutionary . 125, 115 (1985).
