Diversity of coelomocytes in the class Echinoidea (Echinodermata): A comparative study based on morphological evidence [PDF]
Echinoidea is, by far, the most known echinoderm class regarding the coelomocytes and their physiological functions. However, a careful examination shows that most data deal with regular echinoids (sea urchins), leaving a gap regarding the irregular ...

Prickly Defenders: A Review of Venomous Sea Urchins (Echinoidea) [PDF]
Sea urchins, Echinoidea, are widely known for their defensive spines and pedicellariae, with some species having co-evolved venom in conjunction with those appendages. Despite this, their venomous arsenal remains poorly understood.

Mass mortality of the invasive alien echinoid Diadema setosum (Echinoidea: Diadematidae) in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
The sea urchin Diadema setosum is an ecological key species across its range, particularly on coral reefs. In 2006 D. setosum was first observed in the Mediterranean Sea, and since, it has proliferated to occupy the entire Levantine Basin. Here we report

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sand dollar Astriclypeus mannii (Verrill, 1867) (Echinoidea: Astriclypeidae) in the subtidal sand flat in Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea [PDF]
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of sand dollar Astriclypeus mannii (Verrill 1867) (Echinoidea: Astriclypeidae) occurring in the subtidal sand flat in Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea.

Non-Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome of Stomopneustes variolaris (Lamarck, 1816) from the Stomechinidae (Echinoidea: Stomopneustoida) [PDF]
Sea urchins (Echinoidea) are key components of marine benthic communities and many are commercially important fishery resources as luxury and healthy seafood. However, despite their high ecological and economic value, the mitochondrial genomes of all sea

Evaluating restriction enzyme selection for reduced representation sequencing in conservation genomics. [PDF]
Abstract Conservation genomic studies in non‐model organisms generally rely on reduced representation sequencing techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. While the expectation is that the reduced representation of the genome is randomly distributed, the proportion of the ...
