Origin and Dispersal History of Two Colonial Ascidian Clades in the Botryllus schlosseri Species Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Human-induced global warming and species introductions are rapidly altering the composition and functioning of Earth's marine ecosystems. Ascidians (Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea) are likely to play an increasingly greater role in

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract How organisms assemble to form a community is a central question in ecology, with commonly inferred mechanisms including environmental filtering, competitive exclusion, and random processes. In community phylogenetics, phylogenetic clustering is often interpreted as evidence of environmental filtering, where closely related species with ...

Colonial Ascidian Dispersal: What are the effects of adult population density and isolation on recruitment? [PDF]
, 2007 29 pagesInvasive species are thought to be one of the largest ecological threats to healthy ecosystems today. This paper is an attempt to show how anthropogenic transport of species with short dispersal distances is the most important factor in their ...

From environmental heterogeneity to stability: Beta‐diversity stabilizes biomass across space
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Understanding how biodiversity influences ecosystem stability across heterogeneous landscapes is a central challenge in ecology. The spatial insurance hypothesis proposes that turnover in species composition stabilizes ecosystem processes in heterogeneous environments if species dominate in the habitats to which they are best adapted.

Ocean sediments and shifting baselines—A call to revise European habitat classifications
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.Shifting baselines affect the appropriateness of existing habitat classification frameworks, potentially reducing MPA integrity and efficacy. To enable representative mapping, accurate sensitivity assessments and appropriate management of marine habitats, EUNIS classifications require more flexibility.

Natural variation of model mutant phenotypes in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
, 2008 The study of ascidians (Chordata, Tunicata) has made a considerable contribution to our understanding of the origin and evolution of basal chordates. To provide further information to support forward genetics in Ciona intestinalis, we used a combination ...
