Identification and characterisation of Botrylloides (Styelidae) species from Aotearoa New Zealand coasts

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 255-273, June 2024.
ABSTRACT Ascidians are marine filter‐feeder chordates. Botrylloides ascidians possess diverse biological properties such as whole‐body regeneration (WBR), hibernation/aestivation, blastogenesis, metamorphosis, and natural chimerism. However, the absence of distinctive morphological features often makes identification difficult.

Identifying marine invasion threats and management priorities through introduction pathway analysis in a remote sub‐Antarctic ecosystem

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The biology of the extracorporeal vasculature of Botryllus schlosseri

open access: yesDevelopmental 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.

Suppression of cell-spreading and phagocytic activity on nano-pillared surface: in vitro experiment using hemocytes of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2015
Nano-scale nipple array on the body surface has been described from various invertebrates including endoparasitic and mesoparasitic copepods, but the functions of the nipple array is not well understood.

Exogenous IL-8 induces phagocyte activation in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

open access: yesInvertebrate 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 ...

The hemocytes of Polyandrocarpa mysakiensis: morphology and immune-related activities [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2009
A preliminary study of the hemocytes of developing buds of the compound ascidian Polyandrocarpa misakiensis was carried out at the light microscope level for a better understanding of their biological role. Similarly to other ascidians, P.
