Identification and characterisation of Botrylloides (Styelidae) species from Aotearoa New Zealand coasts [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 255-273, June 2024., 2021 ABSTRACT Ascidians are marine filter‐feeder chordates. Botrylloides ascidians possess diverse biological properties such as whole‐body regeneration (WBR), hibernation/aestivation, blastogenesis, metamorphosis, and natural chimerism. However, the absence of distinctive morphological features often makes identification difficult.

A First Record of the Genus Eusynstyela (Ascidiacea: Stolidobranchia: Styelidae) from Korea
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2014 Colonial ascidian, Eusynstyela monotestis (Tokioka, 1953), is newly reported from Korean waters. The specimens of E. monotestis examined in this study were collected at subtidal zone of Beomseom, Munseom, Seopseom and Chagwido in Jeju-do by SCUBA diving.

Hidden diversity in Antarctica: Molecular and morphological evidence of two different species within one of the most conspicuous ascidian species. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 The evidence presented here allowed to delimitate two species within the conspicuous Antarctic ascidian C. verrucosa: two monophyletic groups were obtained, and congruent mitochondrial/nuclear species delimitation was demonstrated. Our results once again emphasize that species identities, even for highly abundant and well‐studied species on small local

Environmental DNA surveys detect distinct metazoan communities across abyssal plains and seamounts in the western Clarion Clipperton Zone. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2020 Abstract The deep seafloor serves as a reservoir of biodiversity in the global ocean, with >80% of invertebrates at abyssal depths still undescribed. These diverse and remote deep‐sea communities are critically under‐sampled and increasingly threatened by anthropogenic impacts, including future polymetallic nodule mining.

First Record of Colonial Ascidian, Botrylloides diegensis Ritter and Forsyth, 1917 (Ascidiacea, Stolidobranchia, Styelidae), in South Korea [PDF]
Water, 2021 Botrylloides species are important members of the fouling community colonizing artificial substrates in harbors and marinas. During monitoring in 2017–2020 of non-indigenous species in Korea, one colonial ascidian species was distinctly different from other native colonial ascidians, such as B. violaceus and Botryllus schlosseri, in South Korea.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Allorecognition, the ability of an organism to distinguish kin from non-kin, or self from non-self, has been studied extensively in a group of invertebrate chordates, the colonial ascidians called botryllids (Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea, Family ...

Cladistics, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 259-300, June 2020., 2020 Abstract With approximately 3000 marine species, Tunicata represents the most disparate subtaxon of Chordata. Molecular phylogenetic studies support Tunicata as sister taxon to Craniota, rendering it pivotal to understanding craniate evolution. Although successively more molecular data have become available to resolve internal tunicate phylogenetic ...
