The ancient Levantine Botryllus schlosseri (Tunicata): population genetics landscape under frequent natural disturbances

open access: yesMediterranean Marine Science, 2022
The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri is a cosmopolitan species, commonly found in sheltered temperate marine environments, primarily marinas/harbors. B. schlosseri larvae settle immediately upon release on hard substrates in vicinity (

A critical deliberation of the ‘species complex’ status of the globally spread colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

open access: yesJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2021
The accurate taxonomic identity for the worldwide-distributed invasive ascidian Botryllus schlosseri has not been resolved. Employing molecular tools, primarily mtDNA, previous studies unveiled five divergent clades (A–E), suggesting a complex of five ...

Insights into the Complement System of Tunicates: C3a/C5aR of the Colonial Ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

open access: yesBiology, 2020
As an evolutionary ancient component of the metazoan immune defense toolkit, the complement system can modulate cells and humoral responses of both innate and (in jawed vertebrates) adaptive immunity.

Effect of colonial tunicate presence on Ciona intestinalis recruitment within a mussel farming environment [PDF]

open access: yesManagement of Biological Invasions, 2012
Aquatic invasive species decrease yields and increase costs in aquaculture operations worldwide. Anecdotal evidence from Prince Edward Island (PEI, Canada) estuaries suggested that recruitment of the non-indigenous solitary tunicate Ciona intestinalis ...

Long-term monitoring data logs of a recirculating artificial seawater based colonial ascidian aquaculture

open access: yesData in Brief, 2021
This article presents and describes data related to the monitoring of our in-land in-lab marine recirculating artificial seawater husbandry system for breeding colonial ascidians [1] over a timespan of three years.

A Comparison of Hemocytes and Their Phenoloxidase Activity among Botryllid Ascidians [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000

Botryllus schlosseri as a Unique Colonial Chordate Model for the Study and Modulation of Innate Immune Activity

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms that sustain immunological nonreactivity is essential for maintaining tissue in syngeneic and allogeneic settings, such as transplantation and pregnancy tolerance.

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates—A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output?

open access: yesEcology 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.

The genome sequence of the colonial chordate, Botryllus schlosseri

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Botryllus schlosseri is a colonial urochordate that follows the chordate plan of development following sexual reproduction, but invokes a stem cell-mediated budding program during subsequent rounds of asexual reproduction.
