Long‐term community dynamics are heterogeneous between fringing‐ and fore‐reef habitats on an Indo‐Pacific coral reef

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

Jenis-Jenis Bintang Laut Dan Bulu Babi (Asteroidea, Echinoidea: Echinodermata) Di Perairan Pulau Cilik, Kepulauan Karimunjawa

Jurnal Kelautan Tropis, 2018
Echinoderms are fundamentally good indicators of health and status of coralline communities in marine waters. Substrat of sandy, rububle and coral reefs are good habitat for Asteroidea dan Echinoidea.

Metapopulation‐scale resilience to disease‐induced mass mortality in a keystone predator: From stasis to instability

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

Identification of putative olfactory G-protein coupled receptors in Crown-of-Thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background In marine organisms, and in particular for benthic invertebrates including echinoderms, olfaction is a dominant sense with chemosensation being a critical signalling process.

A case study of infestation of Acanthaster pianci in Andaman waters [PDF]

, 1990
The starfish feeds on coral polyps and often plague of them are observed on many parts of the Indo – Pacific reefs causing mortality to vast areas of reef corals and their subsequent degradation.

Eyes and negative phototaxis in juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster species complex

Biology Open, 2019
As a corallivore, the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster species complex), has significant impacts on coral mortality and community structure on tropical reefs throughout its Indo-Pacific range.

Carotenoids in Marine Invertebrates Living along the Kuroshio Current Coast

Marine Drugs, 2011
Carotenoids of the corals Acropora japonica, A. secale, and A. hyacinthus, the tridacnid clam Tridacna squamosa, the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci, and the small sea snail Drupella fragum were investigated. The corals and the tridacnid clam
