How to generate pentagonal symmetry using Turing systems [PDF]
, 2002 We explore numerically the formation of Turing patterns in a confined circular domain with small aspect ratio. Our results show that stable fivefold patterns are formed over a well defined range of disk sizes, offering a possible mechanism for inducing ...

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
, 2011 Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Plated Cambrian bilaterians reveal the earliest stages of echinoderm evolution.
PLoS ONE, 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

Comparative Neurobiology of Biogenic Amines in Animal Models in Deuterostomes
Frontiers 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.

Spatial expression of Hox cluster genes in the ontogeny of a sea urchin [PDF]
, 2000 The Hox cluster of the sea urchin Strongylocentrous purpuratus contains ten genes in a 500 kb span of the genome. Only two of these genes are expressed during embryogenesis, while all of eight genes tested are expressed during development of the adult ...

Developmental Biology, 2006 Although the development of sea urchin embryos has been studied extensively and clearly involves both cell adhesion and cell migration, rather little is known about the adhesion receptors and extracellular matrix molecules involved. The completion of the genome of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus allows a comprehensive survey of the complement of cell ...
