Acknowledgements:

I would like to thank Dr. Melissa Frey for the countless discussions relating to tunicates and the critical review of the key. Some of the figures were adapted from illustrations graciously provided by Dr. Anya Dunham (Fisheries and Oceans Canada). Funding for this project was partially provided by an internship grant from the Canadian Association of Science Centres (awarded to M. Frey and H. Gartner).
