Spatial and temporal variation in the demography of early-stage juvenile Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) from Australia's Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
Jennifer Wilmes studied early-stage juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. She found that this life stage occurs frequently in shallow waters of exposed reef environments where coral rubble is abundant, and that variation in

Reproductive investment and fecundity of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is reported to have exceptional reproductive capacity, but this has been largely inferred based on the overall weight of gonads (and mostly for females), and there are limited estimates of the concentration of ...
