CiC3-1a-Mediated Chemotaxis in the Deuterostome InvertebrateCiona intestinalis(Urochordata) [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2003 AbstractDeuterostome invertebrates possess complement genes, and in limited instances complement-mediated functions have been reported in these organisms. However, the organization of the complement pathway(s), as well as the functions exerted by the cloned gene products, are largely unknown.

Predatory impact of the myctophid fish community on zooplankton in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean) [PDF]
, 2015 Myctophids are the most abundant mesopelagic fishes in the Southern Ocean, although their trophic role within the predominantly krill-based food web in regions south of the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) is poorly resolved. This study therefore examined the

Taxonomic Study of Family Doliolidae (Urochordata: Thaliacea: Doliolida) from Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2010 Four species in two genera of the family Doliolidae are identified and re-described in Korean waters: Doliolum denticulatum Quoy and Gaimard, 1834, Doliolum nationalis Borgert, 1894, Dolioletta gegenbauri (Uljanin, 1884), and Dolioletta tritonis (Herdman, 1888). Dolioletta gegenbauri is newly recorded in Korean fauna.

TAXONOMIC CORRELATES OF BIOLUMINESCENCE AMONG APPENDICULARIANS (UROCHORDATA: LARVACEA)
The Biological Bulletin, 1985 Larvaceans, common members of marine plankton communities, filter-feed with renewable, external, mucous houses. The houses of some species of Oikopleuridae produce endogenous bioluminescent flashes upon mechanical stimulation and may contribute significantly to surface luminescence.
