Inventory of ascidians (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) from the National Park La Restinga, Isla Margarita, Venezuela
Biota Neotropica, 2010Co-Authors: Rosana M. Rocha, Edlin Guerra-castro, Carlos Lira, Sheila M. Pauls, Iván Hernández, Adriana Pérez, Adriana E. Sardi, Jeannette Pérez, Cesar Herrera, Ana Karinna CarboniniAbstract:Although ascidians form a conspicuous part of sessile assemblages in the Caribbean, no specialized inventories have been developed in Venezuela, except for a list of 15 species reported from Margarita Island (1984). Here we present the results of a taxonomic workshop held in the Universidad de Oriente, Boca del Rio, Margarita Island during April 20-25 of 2009, sponsored by the NaGISA-Caribbean Sea program. La Restinga National park was surveyed and we found 29 species belonging to 19 genera and 10 families. The most abundant colonial species were Clavelina oblonga, Aplidium accarense, Polyclinum constellatum, Distaplia bermudensis, Symplegma rubra, S. brakenhielmi, Botrylloides nigrum and Ecteinascidia turbinata. Among the solitary ascidians Phallusia nigra, Ascidia curvata, Microcosmus exasperatus, Styela canopus, Styela sp.1 and Styela sp. 2 were the most abundant. The ascidian diversity in this lagoon is one of the highest for similar habitats in the Caribbean and seven species are new registers for Venezuela (Ascidia curvata, Ecteinascidia styeloides, Aplidium accarense, Distaplia stylifera, Trididemnum orbiculatum, Symplegma rubra, and S. brakenhielmi). One point of concern for the conservation of la Restinga National Park is the presence of possible introduced species, and some management procedures are suggested.

Toward a resolution of the cosmopolitan Botryllus schlosseri species complex (Ascidiacea, Styelidae): mitogenomics and morphology of clade E (Botryllus gaiae)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020Co-Authors: Riccardo Brunetti, Francesca Griggio, Francesco Mastrototaro, Fabio Gasparini, Carmela GissiAbstract:Abstract Botryllus schlosseri is a model colonial ascidian and a marine invader. It is currently recognized as a species complex comprising five genetically divergent clades, with clade A globally distributed and clade E found only in Europe. This taxon has also been recently redescribed by designation of a clade A specimen as the neotype. To clarify the taxonomic status of clade E and its relationship to clade A, we examine the entire mitochondrial genome and study the morphology of clade E. The mitogenome of clade E has an identical gene order to clade A, but substantially differs in the size of several non-coding regions. Remarkably, the nucleotide divergence of clade A-clade E is incompatible with the intraspecies ascidian divergence, but similar to the congeneric one and almost identical to the divergence between species once considered morphologically indistinguishable (e.g. the pair Ciona intestinalis (Linnaeus, 1767)-Ciona robusta Hoshino & Tokioka, 1967, and the pair Botrylloides niger Herdman, 1886-Botrylloides leachii (Savigny, 1816)). Clade E differs morphologically from the Botryllusschlosseri neotype mainly in the number and appearance of the stomach folds, and the shape of the anal opening, the first intestinal loop and the typhlosole. Our integrative taxonomical approach clearly distinguishes clade E as a species separate from Botryllusschlosseri, with unique morphological and molecular characters. Therefore, we here describe clade E as the new species Botryllus gaiae sp. nov.

Botrylloides crystallinus n sp a new botryllinae adams adams 1858 ascidiacea from mediterranean sea
Zoosystema, 2020Co-Authors: Anne Baynouailhat, Fabio Gasparini, Wilfried Baynouailhat, Riccardo BrunettiAbstract:Botrylloides crystallinus n. sp., collected on sublittoral hard substrata in North Mediterranean Sea is here described. The species presents a seasonal life cycle with a spring-summer regression of the zooids and their buds as known in the congeneric species B. leachii (Savigny, 1816), from which however differs in many unusual morphological traits.

botryllid species tunicata ascidiacea from the mediterranean coast of israel with some considerations on the systematics of botryllinae
Zootaxa, 2009Co-Authors: Riccardo BrunettiAbstract:Several botryllid colonies of the genus Botrylloides from the Mediterranean coast of Israel are analysed. Three species are described: B. leachii, which differs because of its smaller size, from specimens collected from other European seas and is considered a case of dwarfism due to the particular hydrological conditions of the study area; B. anceps, a species originally described from the Indo-Pacific region, which probably migrated from the Red Sea; and Botrylloides israeliense, a new species. The distinction between the genera Botryllus and Botrylloides is discussed, and the original Milne-Edwards diagnosis based on differences in the structure of the system is recognised as still valid. Lastly, the diagnostic features usually employed in specific taxonomic determinations of Botryllinae are analysed.
