Complete mitochondrial genome sequences for Crown-of-thorns starfish
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background The crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (L.), has been blamed for coral mortality in a large number of coral reef systems situated in the Indo-Pacific region.

Using Long-Term Removal Data to Manage a Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Population [PDF]
Diversity, 2016 Background: Removal programs are effective strategies for short-term management of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.) populations, especially on a small scale.

Putative chemosensory receptors are differentially expressed in the sensory organs of male and female crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Chemosensation is a critical signalling process for all organisms and is achieved through the interaction between chemosensory receptors and their ligands.

Genetic Evidence of Multiple and Diverse Range Expansion Events From an Outbreak of the Crown-of-Thorns Seastar, <i>Acanthaster</i> Cf. <i>Solaris</i> on a Subtropical Reef. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examines the population genetics of a Crown of Thorns seastar (Acanthaster cf. solaris) outbreak on a subtropical coral reef. We demonstrate that this population originated from larval connectivity via the East Australian Current from the Great Barrier Reef, with high genomic connectivity indicating substantial risk of future outbreaks as ...

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea. [PDF]
J Anim EcolMulti‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA methylation is crucial for genome regulation and provides key insights into the interaction between genetics and environmental factors, offering valuable perspectives for ecological research. However, knowledge of DNA methylation patterns in nonmodel invertebrates remains limited.
