Contrasting global genetic patterns in two biologically similar, widespread and invasive Ciona species (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)
Human-mediated dispersal interplays with natural processes and complicates understanding of the biogeographical history of species. This is exemplified by two invasive tunicates, Ciona robusta (formerly Ciona intestinalis type A) and C. intestinalis (formerly Ciona intestinalis type B), globally distributed and sympatric in Europe. By gathering new mitochondrial sequences that were merged with ...
متن کاملHuman-mediated global dispersion of Styela plicata (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)
Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823) is a solitary ascidian found in shallow, protected environments in tropical and warm-temperate oceans. Its origin is uncertain, given that it has already been identified in several oceans since it was first described, showing a very broad geographical distribution. Although S. plicata has been historically classified as a cosmopolitan species, in the past few deca...
متن کاملCorrelation between granulocytes and tunic cuticle of Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) as evaluated by microscopy
The tunic is a peculiar integumentary tissue covering the epidermis of ascidians and other tunicates. It is an extracellular matrix whose outermost surface is revealed to be a continuos layer called tunic cuticle, composed of electron dense fibrous materials. Mechanisms occurring during the growth of the animal after metamorphosis, must assure the maintenance of the thin tunic cuticle density a...
متن کاملTwo new species of Distaplia (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) from the SW Atlantic, Argentina.
The ascidian fauna from the Southwestern Atlantic (Argentine Sea) have scarcely been studied and have rarely been sampled. The existing scanty ascidian records are from specimens collected by dredging many decades ago. During samplings in the San Matias Gulf (Río Negro, Patagonia), two new Distaplia species were found. Distaplia naufragii sp. nov. was collected in the subtidal zone attached to ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of 17 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the widespread ascidian Didemnum perlucidum (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)
The colonial tunicate Didemnum perlucidum has been identified from numerous tropical and temperate locations worldwide, but its native and introduced ranges remain largely unknown. In Australia, D. perlucidum is listed as a target species under the introduced marine pest national monitoring network. In order to investigate the introduced status and potential routes of introduction and dispersal...
