Dear all,
Thanks for all those who sent nice pictures of adult tunicates. I now either have what I need, or am in contact with people who can provide the material. Jane Alfred at Development is considering the idea of a tunicate Cover.
I now need pretty dechorionated 64-cell and early gastrula stage embryos (from the same species). My preference would go for pictures that clearly show the transparency of the embryo.
I also need a nice simple dechorionated hatched larva from a solitary ascidian (meaning the simple larvae, not the complex ones from colonials).
Competition is open. The winner gets their name in the acknowledgements!
thanks for your (rapid) responses.
Best,
Patrick
