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

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.

Feeding preferences of the Cushion Star Culcita novaeguineae in the presence of the Crown of Thorns Starfish Acanthaster planci [PDF]

, 2008
Crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci Linné 1758) are notorious coral reef devastators; they decimate coral populations, thus changing the coral reef habitat and killing many organisms that depend on the coral.

Culling crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. Solaris) on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef: rationale and effectiveness

, 2019
Outbreaks of the Pacific Crown-of-thorns Starfish Acanthaster cf. solaris are a major contributor to the sustained loss of coral, and the long-term degradation of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.There is a major imperative to reverse continuing coral loss

Incidence and severity of injuries among juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish on Australia's Great Barrier Reef

, 2019
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acan- thaster spp.) represent a major threat to coral reef ecosystems throughout the Indo-Pacific, and there is sig- nificant interest in whether no-take marine reserves could moderate the frequency or severity of ...

An atlas of the skeletal components of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci (L))

, 1987
In recent years extensive damage has been caused to many reefs in the Great Barrier Reef complex by the crown-of-thorns starfish (A. planci). Authors on the subject are divided as to whether the outbreaks are a recurring natural phenomenon or a result of
