  1. Las salpas, unos tunicados transparentes que se desplazan expulsando agua. Pueden llegar a vivir en colonias más grandes que las de krill. #mar #sea #ocean #oceano #tunicate #tunicado

  2. El tunicado depredador (Megalodicopia hians) no se alimenta por filtración, sino que atrapa a las presas incautas que se acercan a su sifón. #tunicate #tunicado

  3. The papillae of Ciona, a marine, non-vertebrate #tunicate, have many functions crucial for their biphasic lifestyle. This #PLOSBiology study describes different papillae cell types and how they contribute to #development of the larvae.

  8. Bizarre ancient #sea creature brings evolution mystery to the surface
    A new #tunicate #fossil, a close relative of vertebrates, is half a billion years old. There is now strong evidence that #tunicates are the closest relatives to #vertebrates, but a mystery still surrounds them. How did they evolve, and what did they evolve from? A 500 million-year-old fossil is now telling us more about the #evolution of these peculiar life forms. arstechnica.com/science/2023/0

  9. Discovery of 500-million-year-old #fossil reveals astonishing secrets of tunicate origins phys.org/news/2023-07-discover

    A mid-#Cambrian #tunicate and the deep origin of the #ascidiacean body plan nature.com/articles/s41467-023

    "Ancestral #tunicates lived as stationary, filter-feeding adults and likely underwent #metamorphosis from a tadpole-like larva."

  10. Three years ago, if you’d asked me to name some animals found in rockpools, I sure as heck wouldn’t have mentioned sea squirts. Now, they’re one of my favourite animals and at West Runton, there’s at least 10 different species! This one is Sidnyum turbinatum.

  11. Oh the colours in this photo! Another favourite from my dock fouling experience in Plymouth. I found this colonial sea squirt Botrylloides violaceus in several different colours at this location.

  16. I adore this image so much. I think it looks like a painting! Sea squirts from a marina in Suffolk. 2022 was the year I first went dock fouling. 😍

  21. Sea squirt on sea squirt! I think what we’re seeing here is the colonial sea squirt Diplosoma listerianum covering a solitary sea squirt Ciona intestinalis. From a marina in Plymouth.
