The phylum has a wide range of body forms, including the egg-shaped cydippids with a pair of retractable tentacles that capture prey; the flat, generally...

order is not monophyletic, that is, it does not form a single clade. Cydippids have bodies that are more or less rounded, sometimes nearly spherical...

Mertensia ovum, also known as the Arctic comb jelly or sea nut, is a cydippid comb jelly or ctenophore first described as Beroe ovum by Johan Christian...

led to a re-examination of the cydippid ctenophore taxonomy and the suggestion that there be two new families of cydippid ctenophore. Due to several taxonomic...

is considered a lobate ctenophore, but after they hatch, they enter a cydippid larval stage, and possess tentacles from approximate total length sizes...

is unique within the Ctenophora, sharing certain similarities to both cydippid (i.e. canal structure) and lobates, and characterized by absence of auricles...

the jet of expelled water drives them backwards very quickly. Unlike cydippids, the movements of lobates' combs are coordinated by nerves rather than...
