A ctenophore (comb jelly) employs vortex rebound dynamics and outperforms other gelatinous swimmers

Gelatinous zooplankton exhibit a wide range of propulsive swimming modes. One of the most energetically efficient is the rowing behaviour exhibited by many species of schyphomedusae, which employ vortex interactions to achieve this result. Ctenophores (comb jellies) typically use a slow swimming, ci...
