The core–periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that genetic diversity is greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of a species' distribution because genetic diversity is a function of a species' abundance, which is also expected to be greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of the distribution. Variants of the CPH include the ‘Ramped North' (

Abstract Invertebrate richness and community composition are key indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Compared with morphotaxonomy‐based survey methods, DNA metabarcoding is a highly efficient and scalable biomonitoring approach that has become increasingly used in invertebrate surveys.

ABSTRACT Centrostephanus longispinus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) is an endemic and protected sea urchin species of the Mediterranean Sea. Another long‐spined sea urchin, Diadema setosum from the Red Sea, entered the Mediterranean Sea in 2006 and rapidly spread throughout the eastern basin. As a keystone competitive grazer, D.

Sea urchins are found in almost every area of the islands which are scattered in Indonesia. One of them in Wawama Village, Morotai Island Regency. Local people use sea urchins as food, but the knowledge of sea urchins themselves is a food that has ...

ABSTRACT Aim With the global redistribution of species due to warming, accurately quantifying species distributions is critical to understanding patterns in biodiversity and range shift trajectories. The genus Tripneustes comprises globally important sea urchin taxa that graze seagrass and macroalgae and have the potential to transform ecosystems.

Taphonomic controls on a multi‐element marine skeletal fossil record
Abstract Animals with multi‐element skeletons, including the vertebrates, echinoderms and arthropods, are some of the most biodiverse and ecologically important animal groups. Understanding the relative impact of the myriad geological and biological factors which impact on the quality of multi‐element skeletal fossils is thus crucial for disentangling ...

With coral reefs in global decline and further threatened by growing anthropogenic impacts, effective strategies for restoring these critical ecosystems are increasingly sought after. In Caribbean reefs, where disease outbreaks and fishing pressure have reduced herbivore abundances and facilitated widespread phase shifts from coral to algal dominance ...
