An elongated COI fragment to discriminate botryllid species and as an improved ascidian DNA barcode
Scientific Reports, 2021 Botryllids are colonial ascidians widely studied for their potential invasiveness and as model organisms, however the morphological description and discrimination of these species is very problematic, leading to frequent specimen misidentifications.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. II. Cellular aspects of the non-fusion reaction [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007 We continued our study on fusion and non-fusion reactions in the compound ascidian Botrylloides leachi with particular attention to the role of hemocytes in the induction of the strong cytotoxic reaction observed when genetically incompatible colonies ...

The biology of the extracorporeal vasculature of Botryllus schlosseri
Developmental Biology, 2019 The extracorporeal vasculature of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri plays a key role in several biological processes: transporting blood, angiogenesis, regeneration, self-nonself recognition, and parabiosis. The vasculature also interconnects all individuals in a colony and is composed of a single layer of ectodermally-derived cells.

Vascular regeneration in a basal chordate is due to the presence of immobile, bi-functional cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The source of tissue turnover during homeostasis or following injury is usually due to proliferation of a small number of resident, lineage-restricted stem cells that have the ability to amplify and differentiate into mature cell types.

Immunobiology of compound ascidians, with particular reference to Botryllus schlosseri: state of art [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2008 The phylogenetic position of invertebrate chordates closely related to vertebrates explains the increasing interest towards tunicate immunobiology. Most of the tunicates are ascidians which, like all other invertebrates, rely only on innate immunity for ...

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