Studying Tunicata WBR Using Botrylloides Anceps [PDF]
Methods in Molecular Biology, 2022 AbstractTunicates are marine filter-feeding invertebrates that can be found worldwide and which are the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates (Craniata). Of particular interest, colonial tunicates are the only known chordates that can undergo Whole-Body Regeneration (WBR) via vascular budding.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. I. Morphological aspects [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 We studied colony specificity in the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachi which, as in other botryllid ascidians, leads to either fusion or non-fusion between contacting colonies.

Using RNA-Seq for Transcriptome Profiling of Botrylloides sp. Regeneration [PDF]
Methods Mol Biol, 2022 AbstractThe decrease in sequencing costs and technology improvements has led to the adoption of RNA-sequencing to profile transcriptomes from further non-traditional regeneration model organisms such as the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachii.

Viviparous development in Botrylloides (Compound Ascidians)
Journal of Morphology, 1987 AbstractThe mode of sexual reproduction and embryogenesis was compared in 3 species of Botrylloides: B. simodensis, B. lenis, and B. violaceus. In all species, a testis and an egg (occasionally 2 eggs), the former being anterior to the latter, mature in the mantle on either side of a zooid.

Systematics and Biodiversity, 2019 Botryllids are colonial styelid ascidians for which morphological characters distinguishing genera and species are often difficult to identify and frequently ambiguous. Botrylloides perspicuus, Botrylloides giganteus, and Botrylloides pizoni have similar

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates—A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Here, we document through field observations and photographs, the extensive fouling of seed‐bearing Z. marina reproductive shoots by invasive tunicates in a Cape Cod meadow during late spring/early summer 2025. Such fouling may block seed release and/or inhibit dispersal which may reduce meadow reproductive success.

Marine aquaculture as a source of propagules of invasive fouling species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Non-indigenous species tend to colonize aquaculture installations, especially when they are near international ports. In addition to the local environmental hazard that colonizing non-indigenous species pose, they can also take advantage of local ...

Microbial Communities Vary by Body Region but Remain Consistent Across Color Morphs in the Solitary Ascidian Rhopalaea abdominalis [PDF]
International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ascidians are filter‐feeding marine invertebrates that display inter‐ and intraspecific color variation and host diverse microbiomes. Although color variation has been used as an indicator of speciation and correlated with distinct microbiome structure in some colonial species, there is limited research on microbiome variation across color morphs and ...

Integrin‐Alpha‐6+ Cells Are Responsible for Blastema Formation During Oral Siphon Regeneration in Ciona robusta [PDF]
The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 14, 31 July 2025.During oral siphon regeneration in Ciona robusta, IA6 positive cells accumulate at the wound site to form a functional blastema that is essential for regeneration. Activation of the Wnt signaling pathway promotes both the recruitment of IA6+ cells and subsequent regenerative outgrowth, while pathway inhibition compromises blastema formation.
