Influence of coral symbionts on feeding preferences of crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci in the western Pacific [PDF]
, 2001 The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (L.) is well adapted to feed on a wide range of different corals, but often exhibits striking preference for a small suite of available prey species.

The Effect of Crown of Thorns Starfish on the Great Barrier Reef
Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023 Invasive species are normally defined as creatures with high reproduction rates and few natural predators. Their existence in an ecosystem can destroy an entire food chain by overconsumption of a particular population due to their vast numbers. This paper explores the effects the crown of thorns starfish has had on the great barrier reef in the past ...

Floodplain reforestation reduces nitrate loss through soil microbial pathways
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.Reforesting floodplains with native Melaleuca substantially reduced nitrate leaching relative to sugarcane, driven by higher soil organic carbon supporting decomposer‐dominated microbial communities that immobilise nitrogen rather than converting it to leachable nitrate.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Our results demonstrate the importance of integrating connectivity into conservation planning by highlighting that the current marine protected area networks across the southwestern Pacific should be managed as an interconnected network rather than as isolated reserves.

Reproductive investment and fecundity of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
, 2021 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 ...

Movement patterns of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) linked to habitat structure and prey availability [PDF]
, 2020 Patterns of movement and habitat use by adult crown-of-thorns starfishes (Acanthaster spp.) will have a major bearing on their distribution, reproductive capacity, and impacts on coral assemblages and reef ecosystems.

Marine Drugs, 2014 Two new α-pyrone derivatives, violapyrones H (1) and I (2), along with known violapyrones B (3) and C (4) were isolated from the fermentation broth of a marine actinomycete Streptomyces sp.

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 ...

Temperature and the Larval Ecology of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci
The Biological Bulletin, 1994 The recently reported dramatic population increases (outbreaks) of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, which have damaged many reefs in the Indo-Pacific, are ending (1), but questions remain about the factors that affect Acanthaster distribution and densities.

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 ...
