Effects of experimental in situ seabed disturbance on deep‐sea macrofaunal communities of Chatham Rise, Southwest Pacific

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1422-1459, December 2025.
ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Role of hemocytes in invertebrate adult neurogenesis and brain repair [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2015
The repair of lesions of the central nervous system (CNS) varies widely throughout the animal kingdom. At the level of neuronal replacement lie the major differences in CNS regeneration.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Rocking together: a report on a biological interaction between a non-native sea anemone and a sea squirt in southeastern Brazil

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research
This study provides an in-depth examination of the ecological interaction between the non-native Diadumene lineata (Verrill, 1869) sea anemone, and the Polysyncraton amethysteum Van Name, 1902 colonial ascidian.

Tunic Cell Morphology and Classification in Botryllid Ascidians(Morphology) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The morphology of tunic cells was investigated in ten botryllid ascidians, six Botryllus and four Botrylloides species, by means of light and electron microscopy. Three types of tunic cells were described, I.e.

Putting Structural Variants Into Practice: The Role of Chromosomal Inversions in the Management of Marine Environments

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Major threats to marine species and ecosystems include overfishing, invasive species, pollution and climate change. The changing climate not only imposes direct threats through the impacts of severe marine heatwaves, cyclones and ocean acidification but also complicates fisheries and invasive species management by driving species range shifts.

Salinity-mediated limitation of asexual reproduction in the colonial ascidian Polyandrocarpa zorritensis

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Ascidians are among the most common invasive marine invertebrates worldwide. Many species of non-indigenous ascidians (NIAs) have successfully colonized the Mediterranean Sea, notably within anthropized coastal lagoons and harbors.

Distribution and invasiveness of a colonial ascidian, Didemnum psammathodes, along the southern Indian coastal water

open access: yesOceanologia, 2016
Ascidians are well known worldwide for their rapid invasions and also for the presence of potential biomedical molecules. Members of the family Didemnidae are widely distributed in tropical waters and they are reported to be among the families possessing

ON THE OCCURRENCE OF COLONY SPECIFICITY IN SOME COMPOUND ASCIDIANS

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1974
1. The presence or absence of colony specificity, i.e., the recognition of self and not-self in colonial organisms, has been investigated with several species of compound Ascidians. If the reaction resulted from contact either between growing edges or between cut surfaces of colonies, fusion, rejection and indifference have been distinguished. Of these

Development and Application of a Species–Specific eDNA–Based qPCR Assay for Early Detection of the Invasive Ascidian Ascidiella aspersa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The solitary ascidian Ascidiella aspersa is an emerging invasive species in coastal ecosystems worldwide, including Korean waters. We developed and validated a species‐specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay targeting the mitochondrial COI gene, showing high specificity against 128 non‐target taxa and robust performance (Efficiency = 110.1%, R2
