Light microscopy of echinoderm embryos.
The chapter discusses commonly used procedures for visualizing both fixed and live echinoderm embryos: (1) formaldehyde fixation of cleavage stage sea urchin embryos, (2) staining and imaging fixed embryos, (3) simultaneous fixation and visualization of ...

Echinoderm diversity in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]
The Caribbean is considered a unique biogeographic province, being one of the top five hotspots in the world for marine and terrestrial biodiversity. The echinoderm research on the Caribbean began in the middle of the nineteenth century, and during the ...

Temporal and Spatial Distribution Patterns of Echinoderm Larvae in La Parguera, Puerto Rico
This study describes temporal and spatial abundance patterns of echinoderm larvae in La Parguera, Puerto Rico. For the temporal study, larvae were sampled by a series of monthly tows taken with a 64μm mesh net between the new and full moon from April ...

The understanding of the depletion of species and communities and recovery following the reduction of pressures is fundamental in conservation biology. The impact of bottom trawl fisheries on benthic communities has been well studied, but there are few ...

IntroductionThe California purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, relies exclusively on an innate immune system to survive in its pathogen rich marine environment. Central to this defense is the SpTransformer (SpTrf) gene family that is unique

A new stem group echinoid from the Triassic of China leads to a revised macroevolutionary history of echinoids during the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]
The Permian–Triassic bottleneck has long been thought to have drastically altered the course of echinoid evolution, with the extinction of the entire echinoid stem group having taken place during the end-Permian mass extinction. The Early Triassic fossil

ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

To assess how the eastern part of the Limfjord system has changed over the Holocene, relative to the wider Limfjord and western Baltic region, a sedimentary succession spanning c. 9600–150 cal. a BP was collected from Nibe Bredning, near Sebbersund, from a shallow coastal inlet along the eastern connection between the Limfjord and the Kattegat (north ...

Synopsis Animal phyla are distinguished by their body plans, the ways in which their bodies are organized. A distinction is made, for example, among phyla with bodies of many segments (metameric; e.g., annelids, arthropods, and chordates), others with completely unsegmented bodies (americ; e.g., flatworms and mollusks), and a few phyla ...
