Connectivity and Population Structure in a Marginal Sea—A Review
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The current biodiversity crisis calls for conservation measures that limit or reduce the negative human impact on key habitats and vulnerable wild populations. To effectively protect biodiversity at all levels, including intra‐specific diversity, conservation measures should, ideally, be aligned with the connectivity and genetic structure ...

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2025.Abstract Biofouling‐induced increases in labor costs are among the most impactful factors determining the technoeconomic feasibility and profitability of aquaculture operations. Understanding how different cultivation methods and environmental conditions influence the severity of biofouling is crucial to support informed decision‐making by farmers and ...

Too cold for invasions? Contrasting patterns of native and introduced ascidians in subantarctic and temperate Chile [PDF]
, 2016 10 páginas, 1 tabla, 2 figuras.We analysed the biodiversity of ascidians in two areas located in southern and northern Chile: Punta Arenas in the Strait of Magellan (53º latitude, subantarctic) and Coquimbo (29º latitude, temperate).

'Cup cell disease' in the colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2004 A new progressive, fatal disease called 'cup cell disease' was characterized in ex situ cultures of Botryllus schlosseri, a colonial tunicate. The disease originated as a few dark spots growing within zooids. The infected colonies then started to deteriorate, morphologically diagnosed by ampullar retraction, lethargic blood circulation and by a swollen

Squishy and Crunchy Invasive Invertebrates: Environmental DNA Is Not Shed Equally
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Environmental DNA has been used to detect invasive species in aquatic ecosystems with varying degrees of success. Here, using laboratory experiments and a two‐year time series, we found that squishy species (those lacking an exoskeleton) generally shed eDNA consistently with their abundance, whereas crunchy species (those with a shell or exoskeleton ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT A new species of the genus Microcosmus was described in this study based on specimens collected from the coast of Xilian Town, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, China. The morphological and molecular characteristics of this new species, Microcosmus sp. z YZ‐2024 (YZ‐2024), distinguish it from other sea squirts.

De novo draft assembly of the Botrylloides leachii genome provides further insight into tunicate evolution [PDF]
, 2018 Tunicates are marine invertebrates that compose the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates. These chordates present a particularly diverse range of regenerative abilities and life-history strategies.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Each of the few known life-history strategies (e.g., r/K and parity [semelparity and iteroparity]), is a composite stratagem, signified by co-evolved sets of trade-offs with stochastically distributed variations that do not form novel structured ...

GENETIC AND DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES ON BOTRYLLUS SCHLOSSERI
The Biological Bulletin, 1967 1. Properties of Botryllus schlosseri which give it outstanding promise for studies in developmental genetics are reviewed. 2. Laboratory culture procedures, in vitro fertilization, and a method for raising embryos in vitro are described. Controlled successions of complete life cycles can now be achieved in any laboratory. 3.
