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 ...

Habitat associations of settlement-stage crown-of-thorns starfish on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

, 2020
Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) contribute greatly to the degradation of coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific.

Environmental influences on the reproductive biology and early life history of the crown-of-thorns starfish [PDF]

, 2017
Population outbreaks of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster spp., often result in extensive coral mortality with highly extended recovery times, thereby contributing significantly to sustained and ongoing declines in coral cover across

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.

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

Violapyrones H and I, New Cytotoxic Compounds Isolated from Streptomyces sp. Associated with the Marine Starfish Acanthaster planci

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
