Coral reef erosion: In situ measurement on different dead coral substrates on a Caribbean reef
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2734-2749, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Widespread mortality of reef‐building coral substantially reduces the capacity for reef growth and makes available extensive bare substrate areas that in the absence of coral recovery will be eroded by a variety of external and internal bioeroders.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 The Diadema antillarum population in the Florida Keys has not recovered since the Caribbean-wide mass mortality event of the early 1980s. Concomitantly, coral reefs have degraded to the point that there has been a loss of habitat complexity and thus of ...

The Occurrence of Melanin in the Sea-Urchin, Diadema Antillarum Philippi
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1952 INTRODUCTION The characteristic dark color of Diadema antillarum is chiefly attributable to a black pigment, most of which is contained in large epidermal chromatophores (see Fig. 1). A red pigment is also present, but is easily separable from the black, being readily soluble in ethanol and acetone, whereas the black is not.

[Abundance of Diadema antillarum (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) in the coasts of Venezuela].
Revista de biologia tropical, 2006 Diadema antillarum is a shallow-water sea-urchin from the tropical Atlantic whose populations almost disappeared in 1983-84 because of widespread mortalities which reached 87-100 %. In Venezuela, urchin population densities before the mortality event were comparable to those of other Caribbean regions; however, later abundancies remain unknown.

Diadema antillarum Philippi 1845
, 2006 Diadema antillarum Philippi, 1845 Specimens of D. antillarum examined in this study were collected from Barbados, Gulf of Mexico, Jamaica, North Panama, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. A maximum horizontal test diameter (h.d.) of 105 mm was observed in this species, with a corresponding vertical diameter (v.d.) of 50 mm.

Assisted Natural Recovery: A Novel Approach to Enhance Diadema antillarum Recruitment
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The massive die-off of the sea urchin Diadema antillarum in 1983–1984 is one the main reasons for low coral recruitment and little coral recovery in the Caribbean. As the natural recovery of D.

The sea urchin Diadema antillarum – keystone herbivore or redundant species?
, 2015 Two main hypotheses have been developed for describing the role and importance of the sea urchin Diadema antillarum on reefs of the Caribbean region in both space and time. The first and most crucial is whether D.
