Recruitment patterns of 2 sea cucumber species in a Central Mexican Pacificcoral reef community
Holothurians are nutrient recyclers, bioturbators, and prey for other taxa in diverse marine ecosystems; thus, they directly impact the distributionof organisms with which they are associated.

The effect of diet on the growth and energy budget of juvenile Neostichopus grammatus
ABSTRACT Providing optimum energy levels in diets for sea cucumbers is essential, as an excess or inadequate energy level can lead to a reduced growth rate. This study investigated the effect of diets on the growth and energy budget of juvenile sea cucumber Neostichopus grammatus for twelve weeks.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

Jurassic jeopardy—life and death on an ancient seafloor
The Lower Jurassic Down Cliff Sand Member of the Dorset coast, southern England, is a rich source of marine invertebrate fossils. Among these are echinoderms and less common arthropods. Despite having multi‐component skeletons that are prone to disarticulation, remains of some of these are remarkably complete.
