Global diversity and phylogeny of the Asteroidea (Echinodermata).

PLoS ONE, 2012
Members of the Asteroidea (phylum Echinodermata), popularly known as starfish or sea stars, are ecologically important and diverse members of marine ecosystems in all of the world's oceans.

Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Asteroidea database [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
The present dataset is a compilation of georeferenced occurrences of asteroids (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in the Southern Ocean. Occurrence data south of 45°S latitude were mined from various sources together with information regarding the taxonomy, the

On the genus Crossaster (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) and its distribution.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Several starfish (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) are keystone species of marine ecosystems, but some of the species are difficult to identify using morphological criteria only.

Non-Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

Contrasting Dispersal Patterns of Co-Occurring Benthic Sister Sea Star <i>Labidiaster</i> Species (Asteroidea: Heliasteridae) in the Southern Ocean. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study aimed to employ genetic methods to analyze the phylogeny, species boundaries, population structure, demographic history and genetic connectivity for Southern Ocean sea stars, Labidiaster radiosus and L. annulatus. A sister‐species relationship was revealed between L. radiosus and L.

Diverging Food Web Functioning Around Southampton Island, Nunavut: The Influence of Primary Production Supply and Bathymetry. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Southampton Island hosts two distinct benthic sub‐webs, north and south. North is deeper, phytoplankton‐driven; South is shallower, more ice‐algae driven. North benthos: bottom‐up control, four trophic levels including apex predators. South benthos: walrus top‐down control, trophic truncation to three levels.

The genome sequence of the spiny starfish, Marthasterias glacialis (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Wellcome Open Research, 2021
We present a genome assembly from an individual Marthasterias glacialis (the spiny starfish; Echinodermata; Asteroidea; Forcipulatida; Asteriidae). The genome sequence is 521 megabases in span.

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.

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.
