The neuropeptidome of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci [PDF]

Journal of Proteomics, 2017
Outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS; Acanthaster planci) are a major cause of destruction of coral communities on the Australian Great Barrier Reef. While factors relating to population explosions and the social interactions of COTS have been well studied, little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying COTS physiology and behaviour. One

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

Redai 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.
