Physiological and Epigenetic Responses of the Long‐Spined Sea Urchin Diadema antillarum Across a Spatiotemporal Gradient [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFollowing catastrophic population declines in the 1980s and 2022, the keystone herbivore Diadema antillarum has become a focal species for Caribbean‐wide restoration initiatives. In the present work, we combined an 11‐month field survey across four reefs

Lack of recovery of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum Philippi in Puerto Rico 33 years after the Caribbean-wide mass mortality [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Caribbean populations of the long-spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum Philippi were decimated by a disease-induced mass mortality in the early 1980’s. The present study provides an updated status of the D.

Reproduction of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema setosum in the Gulf of Aqaba - implications for the use of gonad-indexes. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractAs global warming and climate-change proceeds ever more rapidly, organisms depending on seasonal cues to synchronize reproduction face an unclear future. Reproduction in Diadema setosum in the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) is seasonal, with mature individuals occurring from July to October.

An integrated system to assess marine extinctions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 More than 20 global marine extinctions and over 700 local extinctions have reportedly occurred during the past 500 years. However, available methods to determine how many of these species can be confidently declared true disappearances tend to be data ...

Comparison of feeding preferences of herbivorous fishes and the sea urchin Diadema antillarum in Little Cayman [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 On Caribbean coral reefs, losses of two key groups of grazers, herbivorous fishes and Diadema antillarum, coincided with dramatic increases in macroalgae, which have contributed to decreases in the resilience of these coral reefs and continued low coral ...

Shifts in the gut microbiota of sea urchin Diadema antillarum associated with the 2022 disease outbreak [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionIn recent decades, Caribbean coral reefs have lost many vital marine species due to diseases. The well-documented mass mortality event of the long-spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the early 1980s stands out among these collapses.

Non-invasive sexing of the long-spined sea urchin, Diadema setosum
Aquaculture ReportsSea urchins are highly valued due to their commercial significance and essential roles in marine ecosystems. However, traditional methods for sexing sea urchins, such as spawning induction or gonad histology, are typically invasive, season-dependent ...
