Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 Echinoderms are exclusively marine animals that, after the chordates, represent the second largest group of deuterostomes. Their diverse species composition and singular ecological niches provide at the same time challenges and rewards when studying the ...

Environmental Drivers of Mesophotic Echinoderm Assemblages of the Southeastern Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Mesophotic ecosystems (50–400 m depth) of the southeastern Pacific have rarely been studied because of the logistical challenges in sampling across this remote zone. This study assessed how oxygen concentrations and other environmental predictors explain

Antero-posterior patterning in the brittle star Amphipholis squamata and the evolution of echinoderm body plans [PDF]
EvoDevoAlthough the adult pentaradial body plan of echinoderms evolved from a bilateral ancestor, identifying axial homologies between the morphologically divergent echinoderms and their bilaterian relatives has been an enduring problem in zoology.

Live imaging of echinoderm embryos to illuminate evo-devo
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Echinoderm embryos have been model systems for cell and developmental biology for over 150 years, in good part because of their optical clarity. Discoveries that shaped our understanding of fertilization, cell division and cell differentiation were only ...

The RNA Virome of Echinoderms [PDF]
Journal of General Virology, 2022 Abstract Echinoderms are a phylum of marine invertebrates that include model organisms, keystone species, and animals commercially harvested for seafood. Despite their scientific, ecological, and economic importance, there is little known about the diversity of RNA viruses that infect echinoderms compared to other ...

Symbiotic Life of Echinoderm Larvae
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Echinoderm larvae have served as a fundamental system for understanding development and life history evolution over much of the last century. In the last few decades, our understanding of echinoderm larvae has expanded to the microbiota that they ...

Gene regulation of adult skeletogenesis in starfish and modifications during gene network co-option
Scientific Reports, 2021 The larval skeleton of the echinoderm is believed to have been acquired through co-option of a pre-existing gene regulatory network (GRN); that is, the mechanism for adult skeleton formation in the echinoderm was deployed in early embryogenesis during ...
