Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) currently has only one documented established non‐native species. However, the combination of a rapidly changing climate and an increase in tourism activities make these previously isolated islands now at risk, and in need of evidence‐based knowledge of key locations and vectors for assessing ...

Variation in Whole‐Body Regeneration Between Botrylloides Morphs and Species
Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Marine invertebrates exhibit an impressive regenerative capacity. Among these lineages, colonial ascidians possess the unique ability of whole‐body regeneration (WBR), in which a new adult (zooid) body is restored. Botrylloides species exemplify this regenerative capacity by regenerating new adults solely from vascular tissue within approximately 2 ...

Phagocytes and phagocytosis in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri.
, 1993 Phagocytosis by Botryllus schlosseri hemocytes is influenced by temperature, pH, concentration, and physicochemical properties of the test particles and requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions to occur.

Unconventional secretion of a rhamnose-binding lectin by Botryllus schlosseri phagocytes
The European Zoological JournalBotryllus schlosseri is a colonial tunicate diffuse in shallow waters of all seas and oceans. When B. schlosseri haemocytes are challenged with nonself, circulating phagocytes respond to the recognition of foreign molecules with the synthesis and ...

Exogenous IL-8 induces phagocyte activation in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 We studied the responses of Botryllus schlosseri phagocyte to human recombinant IL-8 (hrIL-8) at three different concentrations (10, 25 and 50 ng/ml). Both spreading ability and phagocytosis were significantly enhanced by the exogenous chemokine at 25 ...

Challenge from nomenclature changes: the case of ascidian biodiversity
The European Zoological JournalThe stability of biological nomenclature is essential for estimating biodiversity and is ensured by the International Codes for Nomenclature. However, species names change over time due to advances in scientific knowledge and new technologies, such as ...
