Oxygen consumption of doliolids (Tunicata, Thaliacea)

Asexual reproduction of the doliolid, Dolioletta gegenbauri Uljanin (Tunicata, Thaliacea)

In the aquatic realm, asexual reproduction is rare in most phyla. However, it is common among protozoa, coelenterata (e.g. Hydroid polyps budding medusae), cladocera (e.g. parthenogenesis of Daphnia sp.), and among tunicates (thaliacea).

A salp bloom (Tunicata, Thaliacea) along the Apulian coast and in the Otranto Channel between March-May 2013

Between March-May 2013 a massive Salpa maxima bloom was recorded by a citizen science study along the Ionian and Adriatic coast of the Salento peninsula (Italy). Citizen records were substantiated with field inspections along the coast and during an oceanographic campaign in the Otranto Channel. Salps clogged nets, impairing fishing activities along the coast. Swimmers were scared by the gelati...
