Sex-specific expression of pheromones and other signals in gravid starfish

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Many echinoderms form seasonal aggregations prior to spawning. In some fecund species, a spawning event can lead to population outbreaks with detrimental ecosystem impacts.

Data‐driven discovery of mechanistic ecosystem models with LLMs

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1303-1321, April 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem models are essential for ecosystem management, but their development traditionally requires significant time and expertise, creating bottlenecks in addressing urgent environmental challenges. We present LEMMA (LLM Enabled Mechanistic Modelling for ecosystem Assessment), a framework that programmatically generates and iteratively ...

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]

, 2020
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

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Carbon flux on coral reefs: effects of large shifts in community structure [PDF]

, 1995
The effect of replacement of live coral cover by epilithic algae on patterns and magnitudes of carbon flux is examined for the shallow front slope of a midshelf reef in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) complex of Australia. A steady-state network of carbon

Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Larvae Can Feed on Organic Matter Released from Corals

Diversity, 2016
Previous studies have suggested that Crown-of-Thorns starfish (COTS) larvae may be able to survive in the absence of abundant phytoplankton resources suggesting that they may be able to utilize alternative food sources.

Developing coral seeding devices and rapid deployment methods to scale up reef restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Current coral restoration methods are constrained by several factors, including low survival rates and high costs of coral production and deployment, making it difficult to address ecosystem‐wide coral declines. This study introduces a new two‐part coral seeding concept to efficiently settle, transport, and deploy coral spat.

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.
