The Evolution and Diversity of SALMFamide Neuropeptides [PDF]
, 2013 The SALMFamides are a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms. Two types of SALMFamides have been identified: L-type (e.g.

Has phytodetritus processing by an abyssal soft-sediment community recovered 26 years after an experimental disturbance? [PDF]
, 2018 The potential harvest of polymetallic nodules will heavily impact the abyssal, soft sediment ecosystem by removing sediment, hard substrate, and associated fauna inside mined areas. It is therefore important to know whether the ecosystem can recover from

Biology, 2022 Most species of the class Holothuroidea are able to regenerate most of their internal organs following a typical evisceration process, which is a unique mechanism that allows sea cucumbers to survive in adverse environments.

Spatial distribution patterns and movements of Holothuria arguinensis in the Ria Formosa (Portugal) [PDF]
, 2015 Holothurian populations are under pressure worldwide because of increasing demand for beche-de-mer, mainly for Asian consumption. Importations to this area from new temperate fishing grounds provide economic opportunities but also raise concerns ...

Asteroids, ophiuroids and holothurians from the southeastern Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean)
ZooKeys, 2014 Until the early 1980s, the composition and distribution of the asteroid (starfish), ophiuroid (brittle star) and holothurian (sea cucumber) bottom fauna of the southeastern Weddell Sea was virtually unknown.

Chiridota heheva—the cosmopolitan holothurian [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2020 AbstractChemosynthetic ecosystems have long been acknowledged as key areas of enrichment for deep-sea life, supporting hundreds of endemic species. Echinoderms are among the most common taxa inhabiting the periphery of chemosynthetic environments, and of these, chiridotid holothurians are often the most frequently observed.
