Sea star populations diverge by positive selection at a sperm‐egg compatibility locus
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 Fertilization proteins of marine broadcast spawning species often show signals of positive selection. Among geographically isolated populations, positive selection within populations can lead to differences between them, and may result in reproductive ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of an asteroid Linckia laevigata belonging to the order Valvatida. The complete mitogenome of L. laevigata was 16,371 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA, and 22

Up in Arms: Immune and Nervous System Response to Sea Star Wasting Disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Echinoderms, positioned taxonomically at the base of deuterostomes, provide an important system for the study of the evolution of the immune system.

Multi-star calibration in starphotometry [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023 We explored the improvement in starphotometry accuracy using a multi-star Langley calibration in lieu of the more traditional one-star Langley approach. Our goal was a 0.01 calibration-constant repeatability accuracy, at an operational sea-level facility

The Scientific World Journal, 2017 Sea star (class Asteroidea, phylum Echinodermata) is one of the most successful marine organisms inhabiting a wide range of habitats. As one of the key stone species, sea stars are responsible for maintaining much of the local diversity of species within

Kinematics of sea star legged locomotion
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 ABSTRACT Sea stars have slower crawling and faster bouncing gaits. Both speed and oscillation amplitude increase during the transition from crawling to oscillating. In the bouncy gait, oscillating vertical velocities precede oscillating horizontal velocities by 90 deg, as reflected by clockwise circular hodographs.

Tracing the history of cell types
eLife, 2023 A study of sea urchin and sea star larvae paves the way for understanding how cell types evolve and give rise to novel morphologies.
