Non-Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

Species and size diversity in protective services offered by coral guard-crabs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Coral guard-crabs in the genus Trapezia are well-documented defenders of their pocilloporid coral hosts against coral predators such as the Crown-of-Thorns seastar (Acanthaster planci complex).

Size matters: Predator outbreaks threaten foundation species in small Marine Protected Areas.
PLoS ONE, 2017 The unanticipated impacts of consumers in fragmented habitats are frequently a challenge for ecosystem management. On Indo-Pacific coral reefs, crown-of-thorns sea stars (Acanthaster spp.) are coral predators whose outbreaks cause precipitous coral ...
