Phytopigments as biomarkers of selectivity in abyssal holothurians; interspecific differences in response to a changing food supply [PDF]
, 2010 Holothurians dominate the abyssal megabenthos. They are key consumers and bioturbators of surficial sediment. Compounds essential for holothurian reproduction, such as carotenoids, are in short supply in the deep ocean.

Candidate gene study of macular response to supplemental lutein and zeaxanthin. [PDF]
, 2013 Supplementation with carotenoids is proposed to protect against age-related macular degeneration. There is, however, considerable variability in retinal macular pigment response, which may be due to underlying genetic variation. The purpose of this study
