La salpa más grande es Thetys vagina con hasta 33,3 cm de longitud. Pueden reproducirse asexualmente para crear largas cadenas de individuos, que comienzan como hembras. Estas cadenas pueden reproducirse con otras de machos, produciendo descendientes no agregados. A su vez, la cadena hembra se convierte en macho. 📷Stefanie #tunicate #tunicado

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.

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. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/07/bizarre-ancient-sea-creature-brings-evolution-mystery-to-the-surface/ -
Discovery of 500-million-year-old #fossil reveals astonishing secrets of tunicate origins https://phys.org/news/2023-07-discovery-million-year-old-fossil-reveals-astonishing.html
A mid-#Cambrian #tunicate and the deep origin of the #ascidiacean body plan https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39012-4
"Ancestral #tunicates lived as stationary, filter-feeding adults and likely underwent #metamorphosis from a tadpole-like larva."

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.

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.

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. 😍

This colonial sea squirt Botrylloides leachii var. radiata is so beautiful! Very lace-like.

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.

I can’t wait to go dock fouling again. This colonial sea squirt Botrylloides diegensis was pretty special.
