Distribution and Localised Effects of the Invasive Ascidian Didemnum perlucidum (Monniot 1983) in an Urban Estuary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Didemnid ascidians are notorious marine invaders, fouling infrastructure in many ecosystems globally. However, there have been few reports of direct interactions with native species in their natural environment.

Phagocytosis in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1994 Phagocytosis by Botryllus schlosseri hemocytes is influenced by temperature, pH, concentration, and physicochemical properties of the test particles and requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions to occur. Phagocytes recognize glucosyl or mannosyl residues on the surface of yeast cells, and a respiratory burst is associated with phagocytosis, as indicated by increased

The microbiome of colonial ascidians [PDF]
, 2022 Colonial ascidians are prolific and successful marine invertebrates worldwide. Colonial ascidians harbour a diverse assemblage of microorganisms, some of which are known to produce secondary metabolites (bioactives) that contribute to the ascidians ...

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 ...

Artificial seawater based long-term culture of colonial ascidians
, 2021 Tunicates are highly diverse marine invertebrate filter-feeders that are vertebrates' closest relatives. These organisms, despite a drastically different body plan during their adulthood, have a tissue complexity related to that of vertebrates. Ascidians,

Oceanologia, 2019 Summary: Ascidians are one of the dominant marine sedentary filter feeders recorded more frequently as introduced species than other taxa. It is renowned that artificial structures offer novel niches to the non-native species.

The Genome of the “Sea Vomit” Didemnum vexillum
Life, 2021 Tunicates are the sister group of vertebrates and thus occupy a key position for investigations into vertebrate innovations as well as into the consequences of the vertebrate-specific genome duplications.

Increased inter-colony fusion rates are associated with reduced COI haplotype diversity in an invasive colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum [PDF]
, 2012 Considerable progress in our understanding of the population genetic changes associated with biological invasions has been made over the past decade. Using selectively neutral loci, it has been established that reductions in genetic diversity, reflecting
