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

Sea stars generate downforce to stay attached to surfaces
Scientific Reports, 2021 Intertidal sea stars often function in environments with extreme hydrodynamic loads that can compromise their ability to remain attached to surfaces. While behavioral responses such as burrowing into sand or sheltering in rock crevices can help minimize ...

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
