Origin of the holothurians (Echinodermata) derived by constructional morphology [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2002 According to a recent hypothesis, the holothurians originated by a process of extreme paedomorphism as "giant larvae", with "de novo" developed radial systems.

Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]
, 2010 Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...

Holothurian Nervous System Diversity Revealed by Neuroanatomical Analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The Echinodermata comprise an interesting branch in the phylogenetic tree of deuterostomes. Their radial symmetry which is reflected in their nervous system anatomy makes them a target of interest in the study of nervous system evolution. Until recently,

Cold-water coral reef frameworks, megafaunal communities and evidence for coral carbonate mounds on the Hatton Bank, north east Atlantic [PDF]
, 2008 Offshore banks and seamounts sustain diverse megafaunal communities, including framework reefs formed by cold-water corals. Few studies have quantified environmental effects on the alpha or beta diversity of these communities.

Sex Determination in Sea Cucumbers: Holothuria forskali and Stichopus regalis
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Sea cucumber aquaculture is underexploited in temperate regions, and it is inexistent in Portugal. However, there are some species with a large potential for this sector, namely Stichopus regalis and Holothuria forskali, as it their nutritional value. S.

Molecular mechanisms of fission in echinoderms: Transcriptome analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Echinoderms are capable of asexual reproduction by fission. An individual divides into parts due to changes in the strength of connective tissue of the body wall.
