Not like Botryllus: indiscriminate post-metamorphic fusion in a compound ascidian

1999-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Fusion trials between metamorphs of the aplousobranch compound ascidian Diplosoma listerianum indicated that chimera formation was not dependent on relatedness. Similar, high rates of union were observed between full siblings, half siblings, unrelated individuals from the same population, and individuals from two geographically distant localities. This is in contrast to the well-studied ascidian genus Botryllus, i...
