Sexual biochemistry in the deep sea – the link between phytoplankton and abyssal holothurians
Holothurians play an important role in carbon cycling. They dominate the abyssal oceanic megabenthos, reworking large amounts of organic matter. Holothurians require essential organic nutrients, such as carotenoids for their reproduction.

Morphological and DNA sequencing studies of Varunidae specimens, previously considered to belong to the genus Asthenognathus, from eastern Atlantic waters have allowed the description of two new genera and two new species. From a molecular point of view, it is shown that they belong to a new subfamily, distinct from Asthenognathinae and that there are ...

Holothurians (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) [PDF]
A total of 213 holothurians, representing 16 species, was collected during Project Hourglass, a28-month systematic survey of ten stations along two transects (6-73 m) off central western Florida.This material, supplemented with 8 1 additional Gulf of ...

Lipid, sterols and fatty acid composition of abyssal holothurians and ophiuroids from the North-East Pacific Ocean: Food web implications [PDF]
The lipid, fatty acid (FA), and sterol composition of two ophiuroids and four holothurians from the abyssal eastern North Pacific were analysed to assess their feeding habits and to ascertain their composition for use in a larger study to examine food ...
