tunicate

Among the lower animals, up even to those first cousins of the vertebrated animals, the Tunicates, the two processes occur side by side, but finally the sexual method superseded its competitor altogether.

The following description is derived largely from Rocha's Glossary of Tunicate Terminology (2011).

Small postmetamorphic locos have also been found associated with intertidal aggregations of the tunicate Pyura chilensis and Pyura praeputialis (Manriquez & Castilla unpublished data, Fig.

Dlugosch and Parker (2008) analyzed data from 80 species in the literature covering 18 plants, 2 fungi, and 60 animals (including 7 birds, 6 reptiles, 8 fish, 3 amphibians, 8 mammals, 13 insects, 4 crustaceans, 6 mollusks, 3 annelids, 1 cnidarian, and 1 tunicate) and showed that, in introduced populations, there was an average reduction of 15.5% in allelic richness and a decrease of 18.7% in average heterozygosity compared to the original population.

However, there are some limitations for the tunicate class as they exist in many different colors and morphologies.

In the following sections, genes will be named according to the recent guideline for the nomenclature of tunicate genes.
