Metamorphosis of the invasive ascidian Ciona savignyi: environmental variables and chemical exposure

In this study, the effects of environmental variables on larval metamorphosis of the solitary ascidian Ciona savignyi were investigated in a laboratory setting. The progression of metamorphic changes were tracked under various temperature, photoperiod, substrate, larval density, and vessel size regi...
