The complete mitochondrial genome of the starfish Coscinasterias acutispina Stimpson, 1862 (Echinodermata, Forcipulatida) from the East China Sea. [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2022 In this study, we determined the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Coscinasterias acutispina Stimpson, 1862. The mitogenome was 16,186 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene order and direction were identical to those of other asteroid starfish species. Phylogenetic

On the occurrence of Coronaster briareus (Echinodermata, Forcipulatida, Asteriidae) in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2016 The sea star Coronaster briareus (Verrill Am J Sci (Ser III), 1882) is reported for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. A total of 26 individuals were sighted in Maltese waters during ROV surveys made in July 2015 and June–July 2016. The identity of the species was confirmed through morphological examination of a specimen collected in June 2016.

Complete mitochondrial genome analysis of Distolasterias nipon (Echinodermata, Asteroidea, Forcipulatida). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2018 In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Distolasterias nipon belonging to the class Asteroidea in the phylum Echinodermata. The complete mitogenome of D. nipon was 16,193 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs.

A Newly Recorded Sea Star (Asteroidea: Forcipulatida: Asteriidae) from the East Sea, Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2011 Sea stars were collected with fishing nets between depths of 40-150 m from the Gangwon-do coastal region, East Sea. Specimens were identified as Evasterias echinosoma Fisher, 1926 belonging to the family Asteriidae, which is new to the Korean fauna. This species was characterized by strong external spines and a general size of more than 200 mm, thus ...

Mass mortality of an asteriid starfish (Forcipulatida, Asteroidea, Echinodermata) from the late Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous) of Morocco [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2013 Abstract: A mass occurrence, numbering tens of thousands of individuals in a single lens, belonging to a single species of asteroid, is described from the late Maastrichtian (Late Cetaceous) of Morocco. The lens of partially silicified asteroidal limestone is made up largely of fully articulated specimens of similar size and probably represents the ...

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2017 Energy allocation patterns during the reproductive cycle of echinoderms may be determined by the different energy requirements of the organisms. In this study, we describe the energy reserves variation in the gonads, pyloric caeca and stomach among the gametogenic stages of a population of Cosmasterias lurida from the Beagle Channel, Argentina.

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2010 A sea star was collected with fishing nets at a depth of approximately 100-160 m in the East Sea and was identified as Stephanasterias albula (Stimpson, 1853) belonging to the family Asteriidae of the order Forcipulatida. This species characterized by having the capability of asexual reproduction by self-division turned out to be new to the Korean ...

Polar Biology, 2014 The biology of littoral fauna of the Falkland Islands is largely unknown. This pilot study was launched by Shallow Marine Surveys Group and was aimed at investigating life history of the Antarctic starfish, Anasterias antarctica, a dominating invertebrate predator of intertidal and subtidal, including its distribution, seasonal and ontogenetic ...

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2018 Genetic variation and population structure of the sea star Coscinasterias tenuispina were investigated using allozyme electrophoresis (seven polymorphic loci out of nine sampled) at seven sites on the coast of Rio de Janeiro State. Observed values of heterozygosities were high (H OBS = 0.31 - 0.53), although similar to those found for others ...
