IntroductionBoth colonial and solitary ascidians (Chordata, Ascidiacea) have been gathering attention due to their impact on coastal environments. The solitary ascidian Styela plicata was first observed along the coast of Israel in 2014. It is considered

Biofouling control on human-made structures and seagoing technologies that minimize environmental impacts is a major focus of research in marine industries. However, the most widely used antifouling (AF) method is still copper-based coatings.

Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Tunicates, also called urochordates, are an extremely diverse subphylum of the Chordata, a phylum that also contains the vertebrates and cephalochordates. The tunicates seem to have undergone especially rapid evolution: while remaining exclusively marine, they have radiated to occupy habitats ranging from shallow water, to near shore to the open ocean ...

Background In the previous paper published in 2017, we described the structure of Hox gene cluster of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi, and discussed the scenario for the disintegration of Hox gene clusters during evolution of ascidians. The description

The Pharmacological Potential of Nonribosomal Peptides from Marine Sponge and Tunicates
Marine biodiversity is recognized by a wide and unique array of fascinating structures. The complex associations of marine microorganisms, especially with sponges, bryozoans, and tunicates, make it extremely difficult to define the biosynthetic source of

Endozoicomonas are specific, facultative symbionts of sea squirts
Ascidians are marine filter feeders and harbor diverse microbiota that can exhibit a high degree of host-specificity. Pharyngeal samples of Scandinavian and Mediterranean ascidians were screened for consistently associated bacteria by culture-dependent ...
