Acute Toxicity of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid on Early Life Stages of Daphnia Magna, Siriella Armata, Paracentrotus Lividus Sea Urchin, and Turbot (Scophthalmus Maximus L.). [PDF]
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant whose potential toxicity is causing great concern. In the present study, we used two crustaceans (_Daphnia magna_, _Siriella armata_), echinoid embryos (_Paracentrotus lividus_) and ...

Short-term effects of CO₂-induced low pH exposure on target gene expression in Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]
Objective: Increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentration are causing changes to the seawater carbonate chemistry, lowering the pH and we study potential impacts of these changes at the molecular level in a non-calcifying, marine polychaete species Platynereis

Biološka obrast na apnenčastem substratu zaščitenem pred morskim ježem Paracentrotus Lividus (L.)
V obdobju 1983-85 smo raziskovali biološko obrast na eksperimentalnih apnenčastih ploščicah, potopljenih pri 5 m globine v zgornjem infralitoralnem pasu savudrijske obale Piranskega zaliva, kjer te več kot desetletje dominira gosta populacija morskega ...

PROPOSAL OF SANITARY MANAGEMENT OF EDIBLE ECHINODERMS IN SARDINIA
Sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) is an edible echinoderm very common in the Mediterranean sea. In the Sardinian gastronomic tradition it represents a product very used in some periods of the year, but in practice the sanitary controls by the competent ...

Proteomic dataset of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus adhesive organs and secreted adhesive
Sea urchins have specialized adhesive organs called tube feet, which mediate strong but reversible adhesion. Tube feet are composed by a disc, producing adhesive and de-adhesive secretions for substratum attachment, and a stem for movement.

Functional traits of two co-occurring sea urchins across a barren/forest patch system [PDF]
Temperate rocky reefs may occur in two alternative states (coralline barrens and erect algal forests), whose formation and maintenance are often determined by sea urchin grazing.
