Complete mitochondrial genome of the sea star Archaster typicus (Asteroidea: Archasteridae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The complete mitochondrial genome of the widespread and common Indo-Pacific sea star Archaster typicus has been sequenced in this study. The mitogenome is 16,230 base pairs (bp) in length, with 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Benthic community structure on present‐day coral reefs is often described as rapidly degrading, yet such summative statements do not capture the effects of spatial heterogeneity in communities. We focus on Moorea, French Polynesia, where the fore reef has shown high ecological resilience in recent decades, and ask whether the adjacent fringing

Joint estimation of crown of thorns (Acanthaster planci) densities on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.) are an outbreaking pest among many Indo-Pacific coral reefs that cause substantial ecological and economic damage.

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (Linne') in Ceylon [PDF]
, 1972 The Crown-of-Thorns starfish Acanthaster planci is a predator of coral and has been responsible for the widespread destruction of coral reefs. In Sri Lanka this starfish was first reported by Clarke in 1915. Recently skin-divers reported that Acanthaster

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Mass mortality from disease epidemics challenges the resistance and resilience of populations and communities. Assessing the impacts and consequences of such events is crucially dependent on long‐term datasets. In 2013–2016, sea star wasting disease (SSWD) caused population‐wide crashes of the archetypal keystone species, the sea star Pisaster

Hemolytic activity of venom from crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci spines
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2013 Background : The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci is a venomous species from Taiwan whose venom provokes strong hemolytic activity. To understand the hemolytic properties of A. planci venom, samples were collected from A.

Towards Implementing Multispecies Harvest Strategies That Are Robust to Interacting Populations
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 923-941, September 2025.To advance the implementation of fisheries management that is robust to interacting populations (RIP), ecosystem management approaches can be structured using four main categories: (A) whole‐of‐ecosystem; (B) focus or key species; (C) species of conservation concern; and (D) pest or climate‐immigrant species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Six distinct groups were identified in T. maxima across the Indo‐Pacific region, which was shaped by the ocean currents and the late Pleistocene glaciations. Gene‐flow analysis supported the center of origin hypothesis for the high biodiversity of the Indo‐Malay Archipelago.

On the occurrence of Acanthaster planci (the crown-of-thorns) at Minicoy Atoll. [PDF]
, 1979 The predation of coral-polyps by the multi-armed star fish Acanthaster planci is identified during the last two decades as a major biological factor that causes large scale death to reef corals at several parts of the Indo-Pacific.
