Abstract:Coloniality is a widespread growth form in cnidarians, tunicates, and bryozoans, among others. Despite being modular, composed of multiple zooids and supporting tissues, colonies function as a single physiological unit. A major question in the biology of colonies is the cellular mechanism of generating structurally and functionally distinct colony parts. The cnidarianHydractiniaestablishes colonies with different types of zooids (polyps), interconnected by a gastrovascular system that is attached to the substr… Show more
