Comb jellies exhibit unique ability to fuse, merging bodies and systems

Credited from: CNN

  • Researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution observed comb jellies merging, leading to intriguing findings about their biology.
  • The study revealed that two jellies can fuse their bodies as well as their nervous and digestive systems.
  • This fusion challenges traditional concepts of self and nonself, as ctenophores may lack allorecognition, unlike humans.
  • Experiments showed that after cutting and placing jelly pairs together, most fused within hours, coordinating movements effectively.
  • Future research aims to explore how fused jellies' nervous systems integrate and the implications for understanding consciousness.
