Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.How reproductive barriers arise in early stages of divergence among broadcast spawning organisms that exist in sympatry remains poorly understood. In this study, we used ddRAD sequencing to confirm the existence of three reproductively isolated genotype clusters within Stichopus cf. horrens, and by using outlier analysis, we identified highly divergent

Genetic connectivity of the coral-eating sea star Acanthaster planci during the severe outbreak of 2006&8211;2009 in the Society Islands, French Polynesia [PDF]
, 2015 Occasional population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns sea star, Acanthaster planci, are a major threat to coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific. The presumed association between the serial nature of these outbreaks and the long larval dispersal phase ...

Advancing projections of crown-of-thorns starfish to support management interventions
Science of The Total EnvironmentOutbreaks of corallivorous Crown of Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.; CoTS) cause substantial coral mortality throughout the Indo-Pacific, particularly on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Refining CoTS population density modelling and understanding the disparities between real-world observations and model predictions is crucial for developing effective ...

Diversity, 2016 Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris, COTS) are one of the primary causes of coral decline in the Indo-Pacific region. Effective methods to control COTS outbreaks may therefore be one of the most direct and immediate ways to

Pathogenesis of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci L)
, 2012 Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (L.), represent one of the most significant biological disturbances on coral reefs, contributing greatly to widespread habitat degradation across the Indo-Pacific. While the cause(s) of outbreaks are still being debated, an equally important question is what causes population declines at the

Using Long-Term Removal Data to Manage a Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Population
Diversity, 2016 Background: Removal programs are effective strategies for short-term management of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.) populations, especially on a small scale.

Final report on the results of COTSAC management related research : December 1985 to June 1989 [PDF]
, 1991 Management-related studies were primarily intended to investigate the role of human activities in outbreaks and to provide options for controlling them should they be found to be triggered or exacerbated by human activity. "Conclusive evidence of major
