Introduction
The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri Pallas is widely employed in studies on invertebrate alloimmunity (reviewed by Weissman et al., 1990; Rinkevich, 1992; Sabbadin et al. 1992), development (Milkman, 1967; Mukai and Watanabe, 1976; Rinkevich et al., 1992; Lauzon et al., 1993), and evolutionary ecology (Grosberg, 1988; Harvell and Grosberg, 1988; Buss, 1990). Most of this research has been conducted under laboratory conditions. Life histories of B. schlosseri colonies in the field are known for some populations in the Atlantic Ocean (Grave, 1933; Grosberg, 1988) and Mediterranean Sea (Brunetti, 1974). The life histories of Pacific Ocean populations ...
