Active control of the visual field in the starfish Acanthaster planci

Vision Research, 2016
Photoreception in echinoderms has been studied for several years with a focus on the dermal photoreceptors of echinoids. Even though spatial vision has been proposed for this dermal photosystem, by far the most advanced system is found in a number of asteroids where an unpaired tube foot at the tip of each arm carries a proper eye, also known as the ...

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 ...

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.

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

Population Genomics for Coral Reef Restoration—A Case Study of Staghorn Corals in Micronesia

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Staghorn Acropora corals are ecological keystone species in shallow lagoons and back reef habitats throughout the tropics. Their widespread decline coupled with their amenability for asexual propagation propelled them to the forefront of global coral restoration efforts—albeit frequently without much scientific input.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.
