Vacuums of the sea: Ecological function of large coral reef benthic scavengers in suppressing crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) outbreaks

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution
Despite their drastic impacts on coral reefs, outbreaks of the coral-feeding seastar crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), Acanthaster, have remained a scientific enigma.

The demonstration of chemosensory food detection in Hymenocera picta Dana (Decapoda, Caridea), a proposed predator of the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (L)

, 1974
Hymenocera picta, the painted shrimp, is a possible predator of A canthaster planci. the crown-of-thorns starfish. H. picta detects food by chemicalcues alone and visual cues play no part in the initial location of prey.The presence of food in the water ...
