Body size and substrate type modulate movement by the western Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster solaris.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The movement capacity of the crown-of-thorns starfishes (Acanthaster spp.) is a primary determinant of both their distribution and impact on coral assemblages.

Modelling Growth of Juvenile Crown-of-Thorns Starfish on the Northern Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesDiversity, 2016
The corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is a major cause of coral mortality on Indo-Pacific reefs. Despite considerable research into the biology of crown-of-thorns starfish, our understanding of the early post-settlement life stage

Feeding Habits of Acanthaster spp., as Indicated by the Carbon Stable Isotope Values of Food in Their Gastric Contents and Pyloric Gut

open access: yesRedai dili
The periodic outbreaks of Acanthaster spp. which are predators of coral, are important reasons for the degradation of coral reefs. Information on the food sources of Acanthaster spp. Would be useful for suppressing outbreaks of the species.

Sensitive environmental DNA detection via lateral flow assay (dipstick)—A case study on corallivorous crown‐of‐thorns sea star (Acanthaster cf. solaris) detection

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) represents an emerging opportunity for species monitoring in the marine environment. One aspect that poses challenges is the ability to detect target DNA without the complexity of specialized laboratory equipment. Lateral flow is

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

A Biomimetic Starfish‐Inspired Magnetic Soft Robot with Ultrasound Monitoring for Targeted Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
This work introduces a starfish‐inspired magnetic soft robot for localized, long‐term inflammatory bowel disease therapy. Featuring biomimetic multi‐arm microspines and magnetic actuation, it navigates the gastrointestinal tract, adheres firmly, and releases drugs on demand, monitored by ultrasound, with validated biosafety and ex vivo therapeutic ...
