Modelling tools to support the management of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on Australia's Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

, 2019
Samuel Matthews studied outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) on the Great Barrier Reef. He developed a number of modelling and simulation tools to help predict when and where COTS outbreaks occur.

Study on Phototaxis and Food‐Inducing Effects in Procambarus clarkii

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As a globally significant freshwater aquaculture species, Procambarus clarkii has attracted considerable attention due to its economic value. Understanding its behavioral characteristics is crucial for improving aquaculture practices. This study systematically investigated the effects of different light conditions and feeding attractants on P.

Microsatellite multiplex assay for the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster cf. planci

, 2015
Population outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) represent one of the most significant biological disturbances on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Here, we combine 15 published and 11 newly isolated polymorphic microsatellite markers from the

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.

Density dependent habitat selection in response to habitat loss in a coral reef fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2421-2430, December 2025.
Habitat loss triggers a social chain reaction: adult reef fish crowd onto remaining coral, then spill over onto dead coral—and juveniles follow. This study reveals a novel, socially driven ‘bandwagon effect’ that may lead to ecological traps, highlighting hidden behavioural risks in degraded marine ecosystems.

A social license to operate theory for lethal control of crown‐of‐thorns starfish on the Great Barrier Reef

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2838-2851, November 2025.
Abstract Outbreaks of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) have been recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) since 1962 and have considerable ecological and economic impact. Monitoring and control of COTS to predict, prevent and mitigate outbreaks is an important part of the ongoing protection of the GBR.

Beyond the numbers: Critical analysis of the role of postmortem tryptase in the forensic diagnosis of anaphylaxis

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 2117-2128, November 2025.
Abstract The postmortem diagnosis of anaphylaxis remains a forensic challenge due to the lack of specific external signs. Tryptase, a mast cell‐derived protease, has emerged as a potential biomarker for fatal anaphylaxis. This systematic review critically examined 40 studies published between 2014 and 2024, including both biochemical and ...

Structure of Minor Carotenoids from the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci

, 2016
Four new carotenoids, named 4-ketodeepoxyneoxanthin (1), 4-keto-4′-hydroxydiatoxanthin (2), 3′-epigobiusxanthin (3), and 7,8-dihydrodiadinoxanthin (4), were isolated from the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci.

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

, 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
