Evidence of an alarm signal in Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata)
Numerous marine species are able to assess predation risk through chemical signals, and this capacity is usually found among animals that experience intense predation and possess chemoreception ability, such as brittle stars. We investigated the occurrence of chemical alarm signals and responses in four species of brittle stars: Amphipholis squamata ...

THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OFGORGONOCEPHALUS CARYI(ECHINODERMATA; OPHIUROIDEA)
1. Samples of gonads from Gorgonocephalus caryi collected monthly over a 13-month period were examined histologically to determine the course of the reproductive cycle.2. The reproductive cycle of both sexes was divided into 5 stages: Post-spawning, Early Growth, Resting, Late Growth, and Spawning.

Tiltaksrettet overvåking av Årdalsfjorden i henhold til vannforskriften. Overvåking for Hydro Aluminium Årdal Karbon, Hydro Aluminium Årdal Metallverk og Norsun [PDF]
Alle de fem sedimentstasjonene klassifiseres til «moderat økologisk tilstand» og «ikke god kjemisk tilstand». Bunnfauna gir god tilstand, men overskridelser av EQS-verdien for flere vannregionspesifikke stoffer (hovedsakelig PAH-forbindelser) trekker ...

Ophiuroidea of the Lesser Antilles
This paper deals mainly with a collection of ophiuroids from the Lesser Antilles sent to the British Museum (Natural History) by Dr. P. WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK in 1959. The identifications were made by ROSEMARY PARSLOW, but the discussion and figures of Amphiodia and Ophiocomella are by AILSA CLARK. The material was collected in 1948/49 and 1955. Specimens
