Analysis of sea star larval regeneration reveals conserved processes of whole-body regeneration across the metazoa [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2019 Background Metazoan lineages exhibit a wide range of regenerative capabilities that vary among developmental stage and tissue type. The most robust regenerative abilities are apparent in the phyla Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, and Echinodermata, whose ...

Impact of the extinct megaherbivore Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) on kelp forest resilience
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Giant kelp forests off the west coast of North America are maintained primarily by sea otter (Enhydra lutris) and sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) predation of sea urchins.

Devastating Transboundary Impacts of Sea Star Wasting Disease on Subtidal Asteroids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Sea star wasting disease devastated intertidal sea star populations from Mexico to Alaska between 2013-15, but little detail is known about its impacts to subtidal species. We assessed the impacts of sea star wasting disease in the Salish Sea, a Canadian

RNA expression and disease tolerance are associated with a “keystone mutation” in the ochre sea star Pisaster ochraceus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 An overdominant mutation in an intron of the elongation factor 1-α (EF1A) gene in the sea star Pisaster ochraceus has shown itself to mediate tolerance to “sea star wasting disease”, a pandemic that has significantly reduced sea star populations on the ...

Evolution & Development, 2009 SUMMARY The genetic basis for the evolution of development includes genes that encode proteins expressed on the surfaces of sperm and eggs. Previous studies of the sperm acrosomal protein bindin have helped to characterize the adaptive evolution of gamete compatibility and speciation in sea urchins.
