Taxonomic identification was carried out by authoritative keys and texts. We found 4 species that be...
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 کاملNew species of Didemnidae (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) from the tropical coast of Brazil.
The family Didemnidae includes 20% of all known ascidians with six genera in the Atlantic. Here, we describe five new species in the Didemnidae from central coastal 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.
