Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral
