Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Draft Genome of the Sea Cucumber Holothuria glaberrima, a Model for the Study of Regeneration
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Regeneration is one of the most fascinating and yet least understood biological processes. Echinoderms, one of the closest related invertebrate groups to humans, can contribute to our understanding of the genetic basis of regenerative processes.

Plated Cambrian bilaterians reveal the earliest stages of echinoderm evolution [PDF]
, 2012 Echinoderms are unique in being pentaradiate, having diverged from the ancestral bilaterian body plan more radically than any other animal phylum. This transformation arises during ontogeny, as echinoderm larvae are initially bilateral, then pass through
