Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star Attack. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

The role of vision for navigation in the crown-of-thorns seastar, Acanthaster planci. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractCoral reefs all over the Indo-Pacific suffer from substantial damage caused by the crown-of-thorns seastar Acanthaster planci, a voracious predator that moves on and between reefs to seek out its coral prey. Chemoreception is thought to guide A. planci.
