Holothurians (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea)
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 Mexico specimens supplied by the FloridaDepartment of Natural Resources, brings the total number of ...

The littoral sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) of Guam re-assessed - a diversity curve that still does not asymptote [PDF]
The Micronesian island of Guam has been an important site for the study of littoral tropical holothuriantaxonomy for almost 200 years. Despite substantial attention by both expeditions and resident taxonomists, new records arestill regularly added to the

Filogeografía de Holothuria (Halodeima) inornata Semper, 1868 (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea)
Se evaluó la estructura genética de las poblaciones de Holothuria (Halodeima) inornata Semper, 1868, y se investigó cuáles podrían ser las barreras para el flujo de genes y procesos históricos. Se recolectaron muestras tratando de abarcar su ámbito de distribución, desde México hasta el norte de Perú.

Annotated Checklist and Biodiversity of Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea) in Indian Waters
Holothuroids play a vital role in nutrient cycling and bioturbation to enhance the marine ecosystem. They enhance the biodiversity for various symbiotic marine organisms by providing essential shelter and spawning grounds.

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 oldest synallactid sea cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea: Aspidochirotida) [PDF]
Aspidochirote holothurian ossicles were discovered in Upper Ordovician-aged Öjlemyr cherts from Gotland, Sweden. The well-preserved material allows definitive assignment to the family Synallactidae, a deep-sea sea cucumber group that is distributed worldwide today. The new taxon Tribrachiodemas ordovicicus gen. et sp. nov.
