High fusibility and chimera prevalence in an invasive colonial ascidian [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractThe formation of chimeric entities through colony fusion has been hypothesized to favour colonisation success and resilience in modular organisms. In particular, it can play an important role in promoting the invasiveness of introduced species.

Identification of Ascidians (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) around Larak Island in the Persian Gulf [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2016 Despite the variety of marine organisms recorded from the Persian Gulf, acidians located along the Persian Gulf have not received much attention. We collected Ascidian samples from four sites along Larak Island (Persian Gulf) using Scuba diving and ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

Colonial Allorecognition, Hemolytic Rejection, and Viviparity in Botryllid Ascidians [PDF]
Zoological Science, 2003 Allorecognition is a fundamental system that animals use to maintain individuality. Although embryos are usually semiallogeneic with their mother, viviparous animals are required to allow these embryos to develop inside the maternal body, but must also eliminate an "invasion" by nonself.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.
