Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “…of ascidian invasions, including invasion sources (e.g., Dupont et al. 2010; Rius et al. 2012), post-establishment spread and associated vectors (e.g., Dijkstra et al. 2007), dispersal dynamics (e.g., Bock et al. 2011; Zhan et al. 2012), and management of invasions (e.g., McKindsey et al. 2007).”
The effects of climate change on species composition, succession and phenology: a case study (2011, background): “One marine species commonly used to illustrate this invasive advantage in coastal subtidal communities is B. violaceus, a dominant colonial ascidian in the Gulf of Maine (Dijkstra et al., 2007; Dijkstra & Harris, 2009).”
Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “Dijkstra et al. (2007) compared the dominance and seasonal patterns of abundance of invasive colonial ascidians on rocky shores and showed that the high 91 Taxon Frequency of Cover (±SE) occurrence (”
Adventures of a sea squirt sleuth: unraveling the identity of Didemnum vexillum, a global ascidian invader (2009, background): “vestum “The contracted thoraces obscure the actual number” of stigmata (Kott 2004); only in buds did she count 6 stigmata in the first row, but these were not fully formed adult zooids. Using a hematoxylin stain on a few isolated thoraces of mature zooids from the D. vestum holotype, I was able to c”
