Abstract
⺠We tested for differential stress tolerances in two colonial ascidians. ⺠Ascidian growth and survival was measured under chronic and episodic osmotic stress. ⺠The cosmopolitan Diplosoma listerianum was susceptible to osmotic stress. ⺠The recent invader Didemnum vexillum exhibited a high tolerance to osmotic stress. ⺠Tolerance to salinity changes may add to the high invasiveness in D. vexillum.
