  • Colonial Tunicates: Species Guide
    SPECIES IN DEPTH Colonial Tunicates Colonial Tunicates Tunicates are small marine filter feeder animals that have an inhalant siphon, which takes in water, and an exhalant siphon that expels water once it has trapped food particles. Tunicates get their name from the tough, nonliving tunic formed from a cellulose-like material of carbohydrates and proteins that surrounds their bodies. Their other name, sea squirts, comes from the fact that many species will shoot LambertGretchen water out of their bodies when disturbed. Massively lobate colony of Didemnum sp. A growing on a rope in Sausalito, in San Francisco Bay. A colony of tunicates is comprised of many tiny sea squirts called zooids. These INVASIVE SEA SQUIRTS individuals are arranged in groups called systems, which form interconnected Star sea squirts (Botryllus schlosseri) are so named because colonies. Systems of these filter feeders the systems arrange themselves in a star. Zooids are shaped share a common area for expelling water like ovals or teardrops and then group together in small instead of having individual excurrent circles of about 20 individuals. This species occurs in a wide siphons. Individuals and systems are all variety of colors: orange, yellow, red, white, purple, grayish encased in a matrix that is often clear and green, or black. The larvae each have eight papillae, or fleshy full of blood vessels. All ascidian tunicates projections that help them attach to a substrate. have a tadpole-like larva that swims for Chain sea squirts (Botryloides violaceus) have elongated, less than a day before attaching itself to circular systems. Each system can have dozens of zooids.

  • Cionin, a Vertebrate Cholecystokinin/Gastrin
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cionin, a vertebrate cholecystokinin/gastrin homolog, induces ovulation in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis type A Tomohiro Osugi, Natsuko Miyasaka, Akira Shiraishi, Shin Matsubara & Honoo Satake* Cionin is a homolog of vertebrate cholecystokinin/gastrin that has been identifed in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis type A. The phylogenetic position of ascidians as the closest living relatives of vertebrates suggests that cionin can provide clues to the evolution of endocrine/neuroendocrine systems throughout chordates. Here, we show the biological role of cionin in the regulation of ovulation. In situ hybridization demonstrated that the mRNA of the cionin receptor, Cior2, was expressed specifcally in the inner follicular cells of pre-ovulatory follicles in the Ciona ovary. Cionin was found to signifcantly stimulate ovulation after 24-h incubation. Transcriptome and subsequent Real-time PCR analyses confrmed that the expression levels of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling genes and a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene were signifcantly elevated in the cionin-treated follicles. Of particular interest is that an RTK inhibitor and MMP inhibitor markedly suppressed the stimulatory efect of cionin on ovulation. Furthermore, inhibition of RTK signaling reduced the MMP gene expression in the cionin-treated follicles. These results provide evidence that cionin induces ovulation by stimulating MMP gene expression via the RTK signaling pathway. This is the frst report on the endogenous roles of cionin and the induction of ovulation by cholecystokinin/gastrin family peptides in an organism. Ascidians are the closest living relatives of vertebrates in the Chordata superphylum, and thus they provide important insights into the evolution of peptidergic systems in chordates.

Shimeld1* 1 Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, 11a Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3SZ. 2 Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA 3 Present address: Department of Radiosciences, Umeå University, 901 85 Umeå, Sweden. 4 Division of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA. * Correspondence to [email protected] The evolutionary origin of vertebrates included innovations in sensory processing associated with the acquisition of a predatory lifestyle1. Vertebrates perceive external stimuli through sensory systems serviced by cranial sensory ganglia (CSG) which develop from cranial placodes; however understanding the evolutionary origin of placodes and CSGs is hampered by the gulf between living lineages and difficulty in assigning homology between cell types and structures. Here we use the Hmx gene family to address this question. We show Hmx is a constitutive component of vertebrate CSG development and that Hmx in the tunicate Ciona is able to drive the differentiation program of Bipolar Tail Neurons (BTNs), cells previously thought neural crest homologs2,3. Using Ciona and lamprey transgenesis we demonstrate that a unique, tandemly duplicated enhancer pair regulated Hmx in the stem-vertebrate lineage.

Here, we examine domain shuffling as one of the mechanisms that contributes novel genetic material required for vertebrate evolution. We mapped domain-shuffling events during the evolution of deuterostomes with a focus on how domain shuffling contributed to the evolution of vertebrate- and chordate-specific characteristics. We identified ;1000 new domain pairs in the vertebrate lineage, including ;100 that were shared by all seven of the vertebrate species examined. Some of these pairs occur in the protein components of vertebrate-specific structures, such as cartilage and the inner ear, suggesting that domain shuffling made a marked contribution to the evolution of vertebrate-specific characteristics.

  • Rapid Assessment Survey (RAS) En Marinas De La Provincia De Alicante: Tunicados Bentónicos (Ascidiacea)
    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS GRADO EN CIENCIAS DEL MAR TRABAJO FIN DE GRADO CURSO ACADÉMICO [2017-2018] Rapid Assessment Survey (RAS) en marinas de la provincia de Alicante: Tunicados bentónicos (Ascidiacea). Alumno: Julio Úbeda Quesada Tutor: Prof. Alfonso A. Ramos Esplá Departamento de Ciencias del Mar y Biología Aplicada, UA. 1 Abstract The ascidians are a group of tunicates (Chordata) very characteristic in the fouling of ports and aquaculture infrastructures, appearing abundantly in most submerged structures (buoys, ropes, pontoons...). In this way, marinas are access “roads” for the secondary introduction of species, through the recreational boats, with their protected waters and large infrastructures available for the colonization of exotic species. However, few studies have been carried out on the characterization of the ascidiofauna of ports, and their dynamics among nearby areas. In this study, samples were taken in 7 ports along the 150 km of coastline in the western Mediterranean Sea (Alicante area), and collected from buoys, ropes and pontoons in marina habitats. All individuals of ascidians found, have been identified up to a maximum depth of 3 meters at species level. A total of 324 specimens belonging to 11 colonial and solitary species have been determined; some of them have been found in almost all ports (eg Ciona intestinalis, Clavelina lepadiformis, Aplidium aff. densum and Diplosoma listerinum), while others have only rarely appeared (eg Ascidiella scabra and Ascidia mentula). Moreover, it should be noted the appearance of invasive species, such as Microcosmus squamiger and the strong influence of salinity on the appearance of specimens. Univariate and multivariate analyses have been made in order to see possible differences between marinas.

  • Ascidian News #76 December 2015
    ASCIDIAN NEWS* Gretchen Lambert 12001 11th Ave. NW, Seattle, WA 98177 206-365-3734 [email protected] home page: http://depts.washington.edu/ascidian/ Number 76 December 2015 I greatly enjoyed participating in teaching a two week ascidian course at Nagoya University’s Sugashima Marine Lab from the end of June to July 10, and then attended the Intl. Tunicata meeting in Aomori, Japan from July 13-17. This issue is the second for my 40th year of compiling Ascidian News. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you whether you still find it useful and interesting. There are 93 New Publications listed at the end of this issue. *Ascidian News is not part of the scientific literature and should not be cited as such. NEWS AND VIEWS 1. Ciona intestinalis now shown to be 2 separate species. Because so many researchers work on Ciona intestinalis, and so many papers are published on this species, I draw your attention to 2 new publications showing at last that Ciona intestinalis A and B are different species and designating the correct names to be used in all future publications: Brunetti, R., Gissi, C., Pennati, R., Caicci, F., Gasparini, F. and Manni, L. 2015. Morphological evidence indicates that Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) type A and type B are different species. Journal of Zool. Systematics & Evolutionary Research 53 (3): 186–193. [Type A is now designated C. robusta; type B retains the name C. intestinalis.] The second new publication describes larval differences between the two species: Pennati, R., Ficetola, G. F., Brunetti, R., Caicci, F., Gasparini, F., Griggio, F., Sato, A., Stach, T., Kaul-Strehlow, S., Gissi, C.
