Metabolic rates are significantly lower in abyssal Holothuroidea than in shallow-water Holothuroidea [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Recent analyses of metabolic rates in fishes, echinoderms, crustaceans and cephalopods have concluded that bathymetric declines in temperature- and mass-normalized metabolic rate do not result from resource-limitation (e.g. oxygen or food/chemical energy)

Non-Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

Aquatic Antagonists: Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea) [PDF]
Cutis, 2021 Sea cucumbers are sausage-shaped aquatic creatures living on the ocean floors across the world. They are considered a food delicacy in many countries but also are known to have many beneficial pharmaceutical properties; however, sea cucumbers also contain a dangerous component called holothurin, which has been shown to have a negative impact on the ...

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

Where are all the Ordovician sea cucumbers (Echinodermata)? [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The Ordovician Period witnessed the first evidence of appearance of all modern echinoderm clades as well as it is the most concentrated interval of echinoderm diversity in Earthâs history.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is a frequently-used tool for phylogenetic and evolutionary studies among metazoans, however, it was still poorly represented in some invertebrate groups, including holothurians. Apodida is one of the most ancient orders

Phylotranscriptomic analysis uncovers a wealth of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases variants in echinoderms [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) help regulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) in animals, mostly by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). They are important activators of mutable collagenous tissue (MCT), which have been extensively
