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.

Genetic structure of the crown-of-thorns seastar in the Pacific Ocean, with focus on Guam [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Population outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS), Acanthaster ‘planci’ L., are among the most important biological disturbances of tropical coral reefs.

Beyond the numbers: Critical analysis of the role of postmortem tryptase in the forensic diagnosis of anaphylaxis

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 2117-2128, November 2025.
Abstract The postmortem diagnosis of anaphylaxis remains a forensic challenge due to the lack of specific external signs. Tryptase, a mast cell‐derived protease, has emerged as a potential biomarker for fatal anaphylaxis. This systematic review critically examined 40 studies published between 2014 and 2024, including both biochemical and ...

Larval starvation to satiation: influence of nutrient regime on the success of Acanthaster planci.

PLoS ONE, 2015
High density populations of the crown-of-thorns seastar, Acanthaster planci, are a major contributor to the decline of coral reefs, however the causes behind periodic outbreaks of this species are not understood.

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.

Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT 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.

Bias associated with the detectability of the coral-eating pest crown-of-thorns seastar and implications for reef management [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Outbreaks of the predator crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS) Acanthaster planci cause widespread coral mortality across the Indo-Pacific. Like many marine invertebrates, COTS is a nocturnal species whose cryptic behaviour during the day can affect its ...

Genetic Population Structure and Distribution of the Small Giant Clam Tridacna maxima in Indo‐Pacific Coral Reefs: History Dynamics, Present Status and Future Trends

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.
