Its origin is uncertain, given that it has already been identified in several oceans since it was first described, showing a very broad geographical distribution. Although S. plicata has been historically classified as a cosmopolitan species, in the past few deca...

متن کاملNew species of Didemnidae (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) from the tropical coast of Brazil.

Four species are in the genus Didemnum and were found in Bahia (D. aurantium, D. flammacolor, D. lambertae, D. longigaster), while one Diplosoma (D. citrinum) was found both in Bahia and Espírito Santo.
متن کاملThe role of Didemnum perlucidum F. Monniot, 1983 (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) in a marine fouling community
Didemnum perlucidum is a colonial ascidian that is cryptogenic in southern Brazil but introduced in many regions around the world. It is common in ports and marinas where it may form large colonies although its role in fouling communities is poorly understood. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of D. perlucidum in a marine fouling community comprised mainly of non-indigenous specie...
متن کاملThe alien ascidian Styela clava now invading the Sea of Marmara (Tunicata: Ascidiacea)
During the implementation of a large project aimed to investigate the benthic community structures of the Sea of Marmara, specimens of the invasive ascidian species Styela clava were collected on natural substrata (rocks) at 10 m depth at one locality (Karamürsel) in İzmit Bay. The specimens were mature, containing gametes, indicating that the species had become established in the area. The Sea...
