This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This present study reviewed the chemical diversity of marine ascidians and their pharmacological applications, challenges and recent developments in marine drug discovery reported during 1994–2014, highlighting the structural activity of compounds produced by these specimens. Till date only 5% of living ascidian species were studied from\3000 species, this study represented from family didemnidae (32%), polyclinidae (22%), styelidae and polycitoridae (11–12%) exhibiting the highest number of promising MNPs. Close to 580 compound structures are here discussed in terms of their occurrence, structural type and reported biological activity. Anti-cancer drugs are the main area of interest in the screening of MNPs from ascidians (64%), followed by anti-malarial (6%) and remaining others. FDA approved ascidian compounds mechanism of action along with other compounds status of clinical trials (phase 1 to phase 3) are discussed here in. This review highlights recent developments in the area of natural products chemistry and biotechnological approaches are emphasized.

This chordate subphylum contains a particularly diverse range of reproductive 21 methods, regenerative abilities and life-history strategies. Consequently, tunicates provide an 22 extraordinary perspective into the emergence and diversity of chordate traits. Currently 23 published tunicate genomes include three Phlebobranchiae, one Thaliacean, one Larvacean 24 and one Stolidobranchian. To gain further insights into the evolution of the tunicate phylum, 25 we have sequenced the genome of the colonial Stolidobranchian Botrylloides leachii.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e9273. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.4.e9273 Abstract Background The checklist of the ascidian fauna (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) of Greece was compiled within the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an application of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) aiming to produce a complete checklist of species recorded from Greece. This checklist was constructed by updating an existing one with the inclusion of recently published records. All the reported species from Greek waters were taxonomically revised and cross-checked with the Ascidiacea World Database. New information The updated checklist of the class Ascidiacea of Greece comprises 75 species, classified in 33 genera, 12 families, and 3 orders. In total, 8 species have been added to the previous species list (4 Aplousobranchia, 2 Phlebobranchia, and 2 Stolidobranchia). Aplousobranchia was the most speciose order, followed by Stolidobranchia. Most species belonged to the families Didemnidae, Polyclinidae, Pyuridae, Ascidiidae, and Styelidae; these 4 families comprise 76% of the Greek ascidian species richness. The present effort revealed the limited taxonomic research effort devoted to the ascidian fauna of Greece, © Antoniadou C et al.

    ASCIDIANS FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND ADJACENT WATERS. By "Willard G. Van Name, Of the American Museum of Natural History, New York. INTRODUCTION. Although the ascidians of the Malay Archipelago have already been so much studied that it seems unlikely that many of the com- moner and more widely distributed species have escaped discovery, the Philippine Islands form one of the parts of that region that have been but little investigated as far as their ascidian fauna is con- cerned. As a whole the Malay region is remarkably rich in ascidians, both in variety of form and number of individuals, and some 200 species have been recorded from it, but among these supposed species there are undoubtedly many synonyms. Several important expedi- tions that have made collections in the Malay region, the United States Exploring Expedition, the Challenger Expedition, and the Siboga Expedition, extended their operations into the southern part of the Philippine group, and though as a result of their work a con- siderable number of species of ascidians have been described or recorded from Philippine waters, the localities investigated were too few and too near together, and the amount of material too small to give anything approaching a complete view of the ascidian fauna. The collection made by the Albatross Expedition affords for the first time an opportunity for a general and comprehensive study of the ascidians of the Philippines and their vicinity. That the collec- tion falls very far short of containing all the species found there is very evident. Many forms obtained by other expeditions are not contained in it, and much more extensive collecting in the northern part of the group would have been desirable.

    Metabarcoding Analysis on European Coastal Samples Reveals New

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Metabarcoding analysis on European coastal samples reveals new molecular metazoan diversity Received: 8 November 2017 David López-Escardó1, Jordi Paps2, Colomban de Vargas3,4, Ramon Massana5, Accepted: 5 June 2018 Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo 1,6,7 & Javier del Campo1,5 Published: xx xx xxxx Although animals are among the best studied organisms, we still lack a full description of their diversity, especially for microscopic taxa. This is partly due to the time-consuming and costly nature of surveying animal diversity through morphological and molecular studies of individual taxa. A powerful alternative is the use of high-throughput environmental sequencing, providing molecular data from all organisms sampled. We here address the unknown diversity of animal phyla in marine environments using an extensive dataset designed to assess eukaryotic ribosomal diversity among European coastal locations. A multi-phylum assessment of marine animal diversity that includes water column and sediments, oxic and anoxic environments, and both DNA and RNA templates, revealed a high percentage of novel 18S rRNA sequences in most phyla, suggesting that marine environments have not yet been fully sampled at a molecular level. This novelty is especially high among Platyhelminthes, Acoelomorpha, and Nematoda, which are well studied from a morphological perspective and abundant in benthic environments. We also identifed, based on molecular data, a potentially novel group of widespread tunicates. Moreover, we recovered a high number of reads for Ctenophora and Cnidaria in the smaller fractions suggesting their gametes might play a greater ecological role than previously suspected. Te animal kingdom is one of the best-studied branches of the tree of life1, with more than 1.5 million species described in around 35 diferent phyla2.

Brown Above all , perhaps , I am indebted to a decidedly the phylogenetic relationships between the three vegetative , often beautiful , and generally obscure classes and many orders and families have yet to group of marine animals , both for their intrinsic interest and for the enjoyment I have had in search- be satisfactorily settled. Appendicularia, ing for them . N. J. Berrill (1955) Thaliacea, and Ascidiacea remain broadly used in textbooks and scientifi c literature as the three classes of tunicates; however, recent molecular INTRODUCTION phylogenies have provided support for the mono- phyly of only Appendicularia and Thaliacea, but Tunicates are a group of marine fi lter-feeding not of Ascidiacea (Swalla et al. 2000 ; animals1 that have been traditionally divided into Tsagkogeorga et al. 2009 ; Wada 1998 ). A para- three classes: (1) Appendicularia, also known as phyletic Ascidiacea calls for a reevaluation of larvaceans because their free-swimming and tunicate relationships.

Fiona Crouch [email protected] • To stimulate interest in marine biodiversity, Becky Hitchin [email protected] especially in young people. Jon Moore [email protected] • To encourage interaction and exchange of information between those with interests in different aspects of marine biology, amateur and professional alike. Porcupine MNHS welcomes new members - http://www.facebook.com/groups/190053525989 scientists, students, divers, naturalists and all @PorcupineMNHS those interested in marine life. We are an informal society interested in marine natural history and recording, particularly in the North Atlantic and ‘Porcupine Bight’. Members receive 2 Bulletins per year (individuals www.pmnhs.co.uk can choose to receive either a paper or pdf version; students only receive the pdf) which include proceedings from scientific meetings, field visits, observations and news.
