Predator regulation of Acanthaster planci

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1987
The Crown of Thorns starfish Acanthaster planci is present, though rare, on most Indo-Pacific coral reefs, but in the past 20 years outbreaks have occurred on many reefs. One theory that has been advanced to explain this behaviour is that populations are normally regulated by predation and that outbreaks result from a relaxation of predator pressure ...

Coral-Eating Sea Stars Acanthaster planci in Hawaii

Science, 1971
An aggregation of 2 × 10 4 Acanthaster planci was observed from September 1969 to November 1970. The sea stars within the aggregation were very uniform in size, and their reproduction was seasonal. Their average diameter and weight also varied seasonally in a manner that suggests a correlation between ...

Is Acanthaster planci a near-optimal predator?

Ecological Modelling, 1989
Abstract A two-dimensional model of the population dynamics of the crown of thorns starfish ( Acanthaster planci ) and its coral prey is constructed and analysed. The notion of a suboptimal-superoptimal continuum for the starfish predator is introduced. It is suggested that A. planci is a near-optimal predator on this continuum, and that population
