Morphological consequences for multi-partner chimerism in Botrylloides, a colonial urochordate
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2002Studies on multi-partner chimeras (MC) of the colonial urochordate Botryllus schlosseri have revealed that these chimeras form more stable and vigorous entities than bi-partner chimeras (BC). This outcome has been further studied here on another botryllid species.

Vasa expression in a colonial ascidian, Botrylloides violaceus
Evolution & Development, 2007SUMMARY Evolution of solitary or colonial life histories in tunicates is accompanied by dramatic developmental changes that affect morphology and reproduction. We compared vasa expression in a solitary ascidian and a closely related colonial ascidian, in an effort to uncover developmental mechanisms important during the evolution of these ...

Whole body regeneration in a colonial ascidian, Botrylloides violaceus
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2009Abstract Colonial ascidians are the only chordates to undergo whole body regeneration (WBR), the ability to form an entirely new individual from the peripheral vasculature. Here we describe WBR in Botrylloides violaceus , a colonial ascidian that reliably regenerates after ...

Characteristics of allogeneic resorption in Botrylloides from the Mediterranean coast of Israel
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1995Some of the characteristics of allogeneic resorption have been revealed in studies of chimeras of two Botrylloides subpopulations (SP1 and SP3) inhabiting the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Both Botrylloides SPs exhibited the same outcomes, which differ significantly from the resorption documented in the well-studied botryllid ascidian, Botryllus ...

Surgical fusion between incompatible colonies of the compound ascidian, Botrylloides fuscus
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1994In the compound ascidian Botrylloides fuscus, allorecognition responses were observed at the colonial margin (natural growing edge) as necrotic reactions in the subcuticular region of the facing tunic. However, artificial cut surface contacts between incompatible colonies resulted in the formation of chimeras with common vascular systems, termed ...

Purification of three lectins from the haemolymph of the ascidian Botrylloides leachii
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1989Abstract 1. 1. Three lactose-binding proteins have been purified by affinity, ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography from the haemolymph of the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachii. 2. 2. Two of the lectins, haemagglutinin one (HA-1) and lactose-binding protein three (LBP-3), bind specifically to guinea-pig erythrocytes and are ...

Journal of Morphology, 1978
AbstractThe circulatory systems of four polystyelids, Botryllus schlosseri, B. primigenus, Botrylloides violaceus and Symplegma reptans, were compared. The palleal buds are connected to the parent zooid by a peduncle and to the colonial vascular system by connecting vessels. The peduncle of S.

Gender of the genus Botrylloides Milne Edwards (1841) [Tunicata: Ascidiacea]
Zootaxa, 2015Milne Edwards (1841) introduced Botrylloides listing species with both feminine and neuter word endings. The International Code on Zoological Nomenclature, however, indicates that generic names ending -oides should be masculine unless the introducing author unambiguously indicated a different gender.
