Text written in black on image was provided directly through Kowarsky et al., 2021. Figure is modified with superimposed red text A1-D/TO to match the alternative staging nomenclature utilized in UWT lab. There are several competing staging schemes available for Botryllus schlosseri including the alternative Sabbadin method utilized in Campagna et al. 2016. The associated staging ID’s for the Sabbadin method have been superimposed in blue text.

Below is a table that more clearly defines each stage from Manni et al.,2006.
