New data on C1qDC from the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2021
In the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, we recently identified a novel C1q-domain-containing (C1qDC) protein expressed by circulating immunocytes, called BsC1qDC.

Sublethal exposure of eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica to the goniodomin‐producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium monilatum: Fate of toxins, histopathology, and gene expression

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 374-394, December 2024.
Abstract Objective The dinoflagellate Alexandrium monilatum forms blooms during summer in tributaries of the lower Chesapeake Bay. Questions persist about the potential for A. monilatum to negatively affect aquatic organisms. Its main toxin, goniodomin A (GDA), a polyketide macrolide, has been shown to have adverse effects on animals, for example ...

Mitochondria: great balls of fire

The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 24, Page 5327-5341, December 2024.
What are the implications of hot mitochondria? Recent experimental studies indicate that mitochondria in mammalian cells are maintained at temperatures of at least 50 °C. Here, we consider the ramifications of this finding for cellular functions, evolution, and disease.

A Method for Conveying Confidence in iNaturalist Observations: A Case Study Using Non‐Native Marine Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Data quality, reliability and accuracy have long been recognised as barriers to unlocking the full potential of citizen science derived data. This study developed a score to assign confidence in iNaturalist observations and streamline the verification process.

Deep quantitative proteomics of North American Pacific coast star tunicate (Botryllus schlosseri)

PROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 15, August 2024.
Abstract Botryllus schlosseri, is a model marine invertebrate for studying immunity, regeneration, and stress‐induced evolution. Conditions for validating its predicted proteome were optimized using nanoElute® 2 deep‐coverage LCMS, revealing up to 4930 protein groups and 20,984 unique peptides per sample.

Immunotoxicity in Ascidians: Antifouling Compounds Alternative to Organotins—V. the Case of Dichlofluanid

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Dichlofluanid has long been employed as a fungicide in agriculture and has been massively introduced in antifouling paints for boat hulls over the last two decades.

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

New 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

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 ...
