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.

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

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.

Genomic Insights From Natural History Collections Reveal Cryptic Speciation in Coral Guard Crabs (Family: Trapeziidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
We explored the evolutionary history of Trapezia crabs, key coral mutualists, using genomic data from museum and freshly collected samples. We recovered a well‐supported phylogeny of the Trapezia genus, clarifying species relationships and supporting the division of Trapezia into two genera. Detailed analyses of the widespread species T.

Integrated Ecological and Molecular Assessment of a Crown-of-Thorns Seastar (Acanthaster planci) Outbreak in the Gulf of Oman (UAE)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns sea stars (CoTS) threaten coral reef integrity and biodiversity, yet local dynamics and short-term responses to control remain insufficiently described.

The crowns have eyes: multiple opsins found in the eyes of the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Opsins are G protein-coupled receptors used for both visual and non-visual photoreception, and these proteins evolutionarily date back to the base of the bilaterians.
