Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...
