Background Tunicates are the closest relatives of vertebrates and are widely used as
models to study the evolutionary developmental biology of chordates. Their phylogeny …

In the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods,
salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles …

Abstract ANISEED (www. aniseed. cnrs. fr) is the main model organism database for
tunicates, the sister-group of vertebrates. This release gives access to annotated genomes …

Revolutionary advancements in underwater imaging, robotics, and genomic sequencing
have reshaped marine exploration. We present and demonstrate an interdisciplinary …

Ocean warming favors pelagic tunicates, such as salps, that exhibit increasingly frequent
and rapid population blooms, impacting trophic dynamics and composition and human …

Tunicates occupy the evolutionary position at the boundary of invertebrates and vertebrates.
It exhibits adaptation to broad environmental conditions and is distributed globally. Despite …

Tunicates are marine invertebrates that compose the closest phylogenetic group to the
vertebrates. These chordates present a particularly diverse range of regenerative abilities …

The exceptionally large population size and cosmopolitan biogeographic distribution that
distinguish many–but not all–marine zooplankton species generate similarly exceptional …

We present 4k video and whole transcriptome data for seven deep-sea invertebrate animals
collected in the Eastern Pacific Ocean during a research expedition onboard the Schmidt …

Ascidians have the potential to reveal fundamental biological insights related to coloniality,
regeneration, immune function, and the evolution of these traits. This study implements a …
