Buss L, Buss E, Anderson C, Power M, Zinter J
PLoS One . 2016 Jun; 11(6):e0156249. PMID: 27257948
The colonial hydroid Podocoryna carnea grows adherent to surfaces progressing along them by a motile stolon tip. We here ask whether the stolon tip grows preferentially within grooves etched in...

Connally N, Anderson C, Bolton J, Bolton E, Buss L
PLoS One . 2015 Nov; 10(11):e0143564. PMID: 26605798
Blebbistatin reversibly disrupted both stolon tip pulsations and gastrovascular flow in the colonial hydroid Podocoryna carnea. Epithelial longitudinal muscles of polyps were unaffected by blebbistatin, as polyps contracted when challenged...

Buss L, Anderson C, Perry E, Buss E, Bolton E
PLoS One . 2015 Sep; 10(9):e0136814. PMID: 26359660
The distribution and absorption of ingested protein was characterized within a colony of Podocoryna carnea when a single polyp was fed. Observations were conducted at multiple spatial and temporal scales...

Buss L, Anderson C, Bolton E
PLoS One . 2013 Aug; 8(8):e72221. PMID: 23967288
The muscular anatomy of the athecate hydroid Podocoryna carnea hydrorhiza is elucidated. The polyp-stolon junction is characterized by an opening, here called the chloe, in the otherwise continuous hydrorhizal perisarc....

Buss L, Anderson C, Westerman E, Kritzberger C, Poudyal M, Moreno M, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 Nov; 7(11):e48914. PMID: 23145018
Transitory fusion is an allorecognition phenotype displayed by the colonial hydroid Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus when interacting colonies share some, but not all, loci within the allorecognition gene complex (ARC). The phenotype...

Gloria-Soria A, Moreno M, Yund P, Lakkis F, Dellaporta S, Buss L
Mol Biol Evol . 2012 Aug; 29(12):3921-32. PMID: 22855537
We surveyed genetic variation in alr2, an allodeterminant of the colonial hydroid Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus. We generated cDNA from a sample of 239 Hydractinia colonies collected at Lighthouse Point, Connecticut, and...

Powell A, Moreno M, Gloria-Soria A, Lakkis F, Dellaporta S, Buss L
G3 (Bethesda) . 2012 Mar; 1(6):499-504. PMID: 22384360
The Hydractinia allorecognition complex (ARC) was initially identified as a single chromosomal interval using inbred and congenic lines. The production of defined lines necessarily homogenizes genetic background and thus may...

Rosengarten R, Moreno M, Lakkis F, Buss L, Dellaporta S
Mol Biol Evol . 2010 Oct; 28(2):933-47. PMID: 20966116
Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, a colonial cnidarian (class Hydrozoa) epibiont on hermit crab shells, is well established as a model for genetic studies of allorecognition. Recently, two linked loci, allorecognition (alr) 1...

Rosa S, Powell A, Rosengarten R, Nicotra M, Moreno M, Grimwood J, et al.
Curr Biol . 2010 Jun; 20(12):1122-7. PMID: 20537535
Allorecognition, the ability to discriminate between self and nonself, is ubiquitous among colonial metazoans and widespread among aclonal taxa. Genetic models for the study of allorecognition have been developed in...

Lakkis F, Dellaporta S, Buss L
Organogenesis . 2009 Apr; 4(4):236-40. PMID: 19337403
The presence of highly specific histocompatibility reactions in colonial marine invertebrates that lack adaptive immune systems (such as the sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans and ascidians) provides a unique opportunity to investigate...
