Genomic Divergence of Sympatric Lineages Within Stichopus cf. horrens (Echinodermata: Stichopodidae): Insights on Reproductive Isolation Inferred From SNP Markers [PDF]
How reproductive barriers arise in early stages of divergence among broadcast spawning organisms that exist in sympatry remains poorly understood. Reproductively isolated lineages (Clade A and B) of Stichopus cf.

Abstract Echinodermata is a bilaterian phylum with a body plan that has diverged significantly from the common bilaterian plan. Echinoderms are pentaradially symmetrical and have a unique type of mesodermal skeleton that lies just under the integument.

Echinoderm Lagerstätten from high-latitude Gondwana – filling the gap in the Ordovician diversification of the phylum [PDF]
The phylum Echinodermata is a major component of marine ecosystems since the first appearance of echinoderms in the Cambrian. Like other metazoan phyla, echinoderms underwent two major evolutionary pulses in early Palaeozoic times: the Cambrian Explosion

Supercritical Extraction Technology of Obtaining Polyunsaturated Acids from Starfish (Lysastrosoma anthosticta Fisher, 1922) [PDF]
Introduction. Starfish (Asteroidea) are marine echinoderms with more than 160 species. Starfish are a valuable source of protein and fats. The present research featured the chemical composition of starfish, which can be used as a commercial source of ...

First Jurassic brittlestar from Neuquén Basin, Argentina [PDF]
Articulated fossil ophiuroids from South America were reported for the Devonian, Cretaceous, Eocene, and Miocene. Here we report the first Jurassic record of an articulated ophiuroid from the Sierra Chacaicó Formation (early Pliensbachian– Sinemurian ...

Phylotranscriptomic analysis uncovers a wealth of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases variants in echinoderms [PDF]
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) help regulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) in animals, mostly by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). They are important activators of mutable collagenous tissue (MCT), which have been extensively

First report of the mitrate Mitrocystella (Echinodermata, Stylophora) in the Middle Ordovician of the Crozon Peninsula, Brittany (France) [PDF]
The mid-Ordovician mitrocystitid mitrate Mitrocystella incipiens was one of the most widespread stylophorans in the high latitude Mediterranean Province, with occurrences in the Armorican Massif (France), the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and ...

Solutan echinoderms from the Lower Ordovician of the Montagne Noire (France): new data and palaeobiogeographic implications [PDF]
Solutans are relatively common members of echinoderm assemblages in the Saint-Chinian Formation (upper Tremadocian) of the Montagne Noire (France). The revision of all available material confirms that most specimens can be assigned to Minervaecystis ...
