Detection of a High-Density Brachiolaria-Stage Larval Population of Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star (Acanthaster planci) in Sekisei Lagoon (Okinawa, Japan)

open access: yesDiversity, 2016
Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns sea star (Acanthaster planci) are likely to be strongly associated with drastic changes in larval survival influenced by food availability. However, no quantitative or qualitative data are available on the distribution of

Eyes, Vision, and Bioluminescence in Deep-Sea Brisingid Sea Stars [PDF]

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 2023
AbstractSea stars are a major component of the megabenthos in most marine habitats, including those within the deep sea. Being radially symmetric, sea stars have sensory structures that are evenly distributed along the arms, with a compound eye located on each arm tip of most examined species.

Devastating Transboundary Impacts of Sea Star Wasting Disease on Subtidal Asteroids.

open access: yesPLoS 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

Sea star populations diverge by positive selection at a sperm‐egg compatibility locus

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

The stars are out: Predicting the effect of seawater freshening on the ecological impact of a sea star keystone predator

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Predicting the myriad effects of climate change on ecological communities is a major challenge for scientists, and to date relatively few studies have focused on the effects of sea freshening on species interactions.

Multi-star calibration in starphotometry [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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

Up in Arms: Immune and Nervous System Response to Sea Star Wasting Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Echinoderms, positioned taxonomically at the base of deuterostomes, provide an important system for the study of the evolution of the immune system.

Biology of Incidental Catch Sea Star Stellaster childreni Gray, 1840 (Echinodermata: Asteroidea), from Malaysian Borneo Exclusive Economic Zone

open access: yesThe 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

A New Record of Sea Star Genus Nearchaster (Asteroidea: Notomyotida: Benthopectinidae) from East Sea, Korea

open access: yesAnimal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2015
An asteroid specimen was collected in adjacent water of Gisamun, Gangwon-do in the East Sea, Korea at a depth of 170 m by fishing net at May 2013.
