Neuropeptidergic Systems in Pluteus Larvae of the Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus: Neurochemical Complexity in a “Simple” Nervous System

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The nervous system of the free-living planktonic larvae of sea urchins is relatively “simple,” but sufficiently complex to enable sensing of the environment and control of swimming and feeding behaviors.

Human fibroblast behavior on echinoderm-derived fibrillar collagen substrates

, 2015
Soluble bovine collagen is one of the most used protein to prepare substrates and scaffolds for cell culture and biomedical applications mainly due to its high bio-compatibility. Nevertheless, it lacks the native fibrillar conformation typically found in

Latin America Echinoderm Biodiversity and Biogeography: Patterns and Affinities

, 2012
We investigated the current patterns of diversity by country and by class of echinoderms, and analyzed their biogeographical, depth, and habitat or substratum affinities, using the database of the appendix of this book.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...
