Ecology of Ascidians

2016
Ascidians/tunicates are one of the dominant members in the benthic macrofauna and contribute more significantly to raise the biodiversity of marine ecosystem by extending their distribution on a variety of natural as well as the artificial substratum across the world.

Classification of Ascidians

2016
The mysterious morphological structure of ascidians was taken into account for classification by various researchers. Herdman (1882) has given a classification of tunicate based upon the external features in relation to gemmation and formation of colonies.

Ascidians—Model Organisms

2016
Ascidians represent an interesting model organism to study in various points of view. For many years, there has been a subject on discussion of taxonomic position of Urochordates. There are certain characters, which resemble both invertebrate and chordate. For example, the larval stage possess a notochord in the tail region which resembles the chordate

Vanadium in Ascidians

1990
About 80 years ago Henze (1911) found unexpectedly that ascidian blood cells contained a high level of vanadium. The initial interest in this phenomenon was not only the presence of vanadium but also the possibility that other metals might be concentrated in ascidians and other organisms.

Ascidian suspension feeding

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2007
Ascidians are a diverse group of benthic suspension feeders. This review presents and discusses the current literature on ascidian suspension feeding including the different structures involved in feeding as well as how feeding responds to variation in environmental parameters like water temperature and particle concentration.

Echinoderms and Ascidians

1975
Although there is no resemblance in form between adult echinoderms and ascidians, we have chosen to link them together in this chapter for three reasons. First it is necessary to emphasize that they both belong to the Deuterostomia. This is a classification of animals which links the echinoderms with the chordates, and is based on the fact that during ...

Metamorphosis in Ascidians

BioScience, 1983
Tadpole larvae are found in three orders and 10 families of ascidians (phylum Chordata, subphylum Urochordata or Tunicata) and range in length from about 0.6 mm to 11.0 mm. They all have a trunk, a tail, and cuticular fins. The largest larvae are produced by colonial ascidians (with asexual reproduction) and the smaller ones are produced by solitary ...
