Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 39-55, February 2024.Marine heatwaves are causing recurring coral bleaching events on tropical reefs that are driving wholesale ecosystem change. Yet little is known about how bleaching and subsequent coral mortality impacts the spatial properties of tropical seascapes, such as patterns of organism spatial clustering and heterogeneity across scales.

On the occurrence of Acanthaster planci (the crown-of-thorns) at Minicoy Atoll. [PDF]
, 1979 The predation of coral-polyps by the multi-armed star fish Acanthaster planci is identified during the last two decades as a major biological factor that causes large scale death to reef corals at several parts of the Indo-Pacific.

Acanthaster planci preying on soft corals in southern Japan
Galaxea, Journal of Coral Reef Studies, 2012 The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci is well known as a destructive predator on shallow water Scleractinia, and in particular Acropora spp. (Pratchett 2007). Outbreaks of Acanthaster planci have caused serious damage to coral reefs. However, it is less well-known that the crown-of-thorns does occasionally prey upon other benthic cnidarians ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 373-387, February 2024.Abstract Animal re‐identification remains a challenging problem due to the cost of tagging systems and the difficulty of permanently attaching a physical marker to some animals, such as sea stars. Due to these challenges, photo identification is a good fit to solve this problem whether evaluated by humans or through machine learning.

Neuropeptide expression and action in the reproductive system of the starfish Asterias rubens
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 1, January 2024.The expression and action of neuropeptides in the reproductive system of the starfish Asterias rubens were investigated, as illustrated here for ArPPLN2h. This neuropeptide is expressed in the coelomic epithelial layer of the gonads [CE(Gd); arrowheads] in both female (a) and male (b) animals, and it causes relaxation of ovary (c) and testis (d ...
