Abstract
Ctenophores produce exquisite embryological material for both descriptive and experimental manipulation (e.g., Martindale and Henry 1997). The fact that they are free-spawned and optically clear and undergo a rapid and highly stereotyped cleavage program has established them a highly studied preparation, particularly in the “golden era” of experimental embryology (circa the end of the nineteenth century).
