ABSTRACT Marine biological invasions, increasingly facilitated by maritime transport, represent a major dimension of global change, threatening biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being worldwide. Although the factors shaping invasion success have been widely studied, the evolutionary processes occurring during the transport stage remain ...

Feeding cessation alters host morphology and bacterial communities in the ascidian Pseudodistoma crucigaster [PDF]
11 páginas, 2 tablas, 7 figurasBackground: Ascidians can associate with abundant and diverse consortia ofmicrobial symbionts, yet these communities remain unexamined for the majority of host ascidians and little is known about host-symbiont interactions.

Amyloid and allorecognition in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. [PDF]
Allorecognition, i.e., the ability of intraspecific nonself recognition is widely distributed among colonial, sessile marine organisms in the form of colony specificity. In the cosmopolitan compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, colony specificity is controlled by a highly polymorphic Fu/HC locus: two colonies sharing at least one alleleat the Fu/HC ...

Tunicate-associated bacteria show a great potential for the discovery of antimicrobial compounds.
Tunicates (Ascidians, sea squirts) are marine protochordates, which live sedentary or sessile in colonial or solitary forms. These invertebrates have to protect themselves against predators and invaders.

Marine epibiosis. III. Possible antifouling defense adaptations in Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard) (Didemnidae, Ascidiacea) [PDF]
Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some ...
