The microarchitectural variability in the echinoid skeleton: a 3D geometrical and stiffness characterization of Paracentrotus lividus [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe sea urchin skeleton is a lightweight yet load-bearing hierarchical structure composed of calcitic plates with a species-specific three-dimensional (3D) trabecular meshwork known as stereom. Interestingly, the stereom architecture is extremely complex

Defensome against toxic diatom aldehydes in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many diatom species produce polyunsaturated aldehydes, such as decadienal, which compromise embryonic and larval development in benthic organisms. Here newly fertilized Paracentrotus lividus sea urchins were exposed to low concentration of decadienal and
