Comparative Morphology of the Stolonic Vessel in a Didemnid Ascidian and Some Related Tissues in Colonial Ascidians [PDF]
Zoological Science, 2004 The stolonic vessel is a tubular projection of the epidermis from the anterior part of the abdomen in the didemnid ascidians, and the vessel has been supposed to be closely related to the stolons, vascular appendages, and the posterior ends of the abdomen in other aplousobranch ascidians.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Too cold for invasions? Contrasting patterns of native and introduced ascidians in subantarctic and temperate Chile [PDF]
, 2016 10 páginas, 1 tabla, 2 figuras.We analysed the biodiversity of ascidians in two areas located in southern and northern Chile: Punta Arenas in the Strait of Magellan (53º latitude, subantarctic) and Coquimbo (29º latitude, temperate).

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Introduction Restoring coral reefs through larval enhancement has the potential to scale interventions beyond experimental plots of tens of m2. However, the effectiveness of releasing larvae without confinement (“free release”) remains untested.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. I. Morphological aspects [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 We studied colony specificity in the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachi which, as in other botryllid ascidians, leads to either fusion or non-fusion between contacting colonies.

Whole body regeneration and developmental competition in two botryllid ascidians
EvoDevo, 2021 Background Botryllid ascidians are a group of marine invertebrate chordates that are colonial and grow by repeated rounds of asexual reproduction to form a colony of individual bodies, called zooids, linked by a common vascular network.
