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.

CELLULAR DiFPERLENTIA TION IN VOLVOX* BY RICHARD C. STARR DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, INDIANA UNIVERSITY, BLOOMINGTON Communicated by R. E. Cleland, January 29, 1968 MIicroorganiisms have become important research materials in the study of differentiation at all levels of organization from the molecular to the cellular, but there remains a wealth of species whose potential has not as yet been realized due to problems of isolation, cultivation, or manipulation of the various phases of the life cycle. In this latter group the green alga Volvox has for many years been recognized as having aspects of organization and development that would make it a prime species for investigation of differentiation at the cellular level. The Volvox individual is a spheroid in which the biflagellate cells are arranged in a single peripheral layer. Two types of cells are always present: somatic cells which characteristically make up the bulk of the organism; and reproductive cells which occur in small numbers and which may be differentiated as gonidia, i.e., asexual cells capable of reproducing new individuals without fertilization, or sexual cells capable of becoming eggs, or of forming packets of sperm cells. It is of special interest that many of the species of Volvox were delimited by such early workers as Powers' and Shaw2 using as taxonomic criteria the type and degree of differentiation, and the time at which such differentiation occurred during the development of the young individuals. The pioneering work by Darden3 on Volvox aureus showed the possibility of studying the control of the reproductive cells in cultured material where growth and development could be examined in detail.
Introduction Why Did England Wish to Establish Colonies?

LIFE AT JAMESTOWN Introduction In May of 1607, three small ships – the Discovery, Godspeed and Susan Constant – landed at what we know today as Jamestown. On board were 104 men and boys, plus crew members, who had left England on a bitter cold December day. Sailing down the Thames River with little fanfare, they were unnoticed by all but a few curious onlookers. The ships were packed with supplies they thought would be most needed in this new land. Sponsors of the voyage hoped the venture would become an economic prize for England. An earlier undertaking in the 1580s on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, had failed, but times had changed. England had signed a peace treaty with Spain, and was now looking westward to establish colonies along the northeastern seaboard of North America. Word was that the Spanish had found “mountains of gold” in this new land, so these voyagers were intent on finding riches as well as a sea route to Asia. Little did the settlers know as they disembarked on this spring day, May 14, 1607, how many and what kinds of hardships they would face as they set out to fulfill their dreams of riches and adventure in Virginia. Life at Jamestown is a story of the struggles of the English colonists as they encountered the Pow- hatan Indians, whose ancestors had lived on this land for centuries, as well as their struggles among themselves as they tried to work and live with people of different backgrounds and social classes. It is the story of everyday life in an unfamiliar environment at Jamestown, including perilous times such as the “starving time” during 1609-10 and the expansion of the colony when more colonists, including women, came to strengthen the settlement and make it more permanent.
