Retinoic Acid Signaling Regulates the Metamorphosis of Feather Stars (Crinoidea, Echinodermata): Insight into the Evolution of the Animal Life Cycle

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Many marine invertebrates have a life cycle with planktonic larvae, although the evolution of this type of life cycle remains enigmatic. We recently proposed that the regulatory mechanism of life cycle transition is conserved between jellyfish (Cnidaria)

Post-larval development in deep-sea echinoderms

open access: yes, 1998
The post-larval phase is an essential period in the life history of marine invertebrates; vulnerable to high mortality, it ultimately influences the distribution and abundance of adult populations.

Comparative Neurobiology of Biogenic Amines in Animal Models in Deuterostomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
We review the occurrence of biogenic amines and their potential role as neurotransmitters in the nervous system of three groups of invertebrate deuterostomes: tunicates, cephalochordates, and echinoderms.

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

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

The Microbial Landscape of Sea Stars and the Anatomical and Interspecies Variability of Their Microbiome

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Sea stars are among the most important predators in benthic ecosystems worldwide which is partly attributed to their unique gastrointestinal features and feeding behaviors.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Extensive introgression among strongylocentrotid sea urchins revealed by phylogenomics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Gametic isolation is thought to play an important role in the evolution of reproductive isolation in broadcast‐spawning marine invertebrates. However, it is unclear whether gametic isolation commonly evolves early in the speciation process or only ...
