Deep-water Asteroidea (Echinodermata) collected during the TALUD cruises in the Gulf of California, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
During a series of cruises aboard the R/V “El Puma” aimed at collecting the deep-water benthic and pelagic fauna off the Pacific coast of Mexico, in the eastern Pacific, samples of Asteroidea were collected below 500 m depth (587-1 526 m). A total of 335

Xyloplax princealberti (Asteroidea, Echinodermata): A New Species That Is Not Always Associated with Wood Falls

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Xyloplax is a genus of three species of sea stars previously found only on sunken wood in the deep ocean. Their circular and petaloid bodies, which lend them their common name “sea daisy”, and their presumed exclusive diet of wood make them an unusual ...

Applying Deep Learning to Quantify Drivers of Long‐Term Ecological Change in a Swedish Marine Protected Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We applied an object‐detection model to archived videos from 1997‐2023 of a submarine rock wall in a Swedish marine protected area. We modeled depth distributions and abundance trends of 17 invertebrate taxa. Most taxa resided at deeper wall sections and abundance trends were generally positive, but heat sensitivity was associated with population ...

Unveiling Origin Pitfalls in Metagenomic Surveillance for Emerging Infectious Diseases: Parvoviruses as a Model

open access: yesiMetaMed, Volume 1, Issue 1, September 2025.
A diverse reagent‐associated virome, including parvoviruses, misleads zoonotic surveillance. By leveraging large language models (ChatGPT‐4o), we construct a virus discovery data framework (PVDDC) and ParvoDB to access and correct host misattributions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of metagenomic surveillance for emerging zoonotic diseases.

An ephemeral sea star (Coscinasterias muricata) wasting event at Tauranga, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 342-348, September 2025.
ABSTRACT During late December 2018 a sea star wasting event occurred at Pilot Bay, Tauranga Harbour, North Island/Te Ika‐a‐Māui, Aotearoa New Zealand. Forty‐seven specimens of the asteroid Coscinasterias muricata Verrill, 1867, with a maximum diameter of 50 ‐ 150 mm, were found in varying states of wasting on and between rocks at low tide over an area ...

First record of the starfish Luidia atlantidea in the Canary Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We document the first observations of Luidia atlantidea Madsen, 1950 (Luidiidae; Paxillosida, Asteroidea) along the coasts of the Canary Islands, which represents a new westward occurrence of its known range.

Population biology of the sea star Anasterias minuta (Forcipulatida: Asteriidae) threatened by anthropogenic activities in rocky intertidal shores of San Matías Gulf, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In Patagonian coastal areas, intertidal benthic communities are exposed to extreme physical conditions. The interaction between harsh environment and anthropogenic pressure can generate changes in population biology of marine invertebrates, like density ...

Water Interaction Type Affects Environmental DNA Shedding Rates of Terrestrial Mammal eDNA Into Surface Water Bodies

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
Although shedding rates for aquatic species are well studied, little is known about terrestrial mammal shedding rates in water. In this study, we quantify eDNA shedding rates from domestic dogs during various interactions with water bodies and find that defecation and crossing through water produce the highest shedding rates, highlighting direct water ...

Structural analysis of an Asterias rubens peptide indicates the presence of a disulfide‐directed β‐hairpin fold

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 415-426, March 2025.
Sea stars have remarkable regenerative capabilities. A peptide, KASH2, identified in the biofluid of the common sea star Asterias rubens appears to be involved with the wound‐healing response in the organism. Here, we show the 3D structure of KASH2 adopts a disulfide‐directed β‐hairpin fold, a fold only previously found in arachnids, and does not show ...
