Prickly Defenders: A Review of Venomous Sea Urchins (Echinoidea) [PDF]
Marine DrugsSea 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.

Diversity of coelomocytes in the class Echinoidea (Echinodermata): A comparative study based on morphological evidence [PDF]
Comparative Immunology ReportsEchinoidea 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 ...

Climate-driven diversity changes of Mediterranean echinoids over the last 6 Ma [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 Echinoids represent an important component of the Cenozoic marine benthic communities. Their diversity in the Mediterranean area is reviewed within the Late Miocene–Recent, a period of remarkable paleogeographic and paleoclimate changes.

Phylogenomic analyses of echinoid diversification prompt a re-evaluation of their fossil record
eLife, 2022 Echinoids are key components of modern marine ecosystems. Despite a remarkable fossil record, the emergence of their crown group is documented by few specimens of unclear affinities, rendering their early history uncertain.
