Evidence of increased mussel abundance related to the Pacific marine heatwave and sea star wasting

Marine Ecology, 2022
AbstractMussels occupy a key middle trophic position in nearshore food webs linking primary producers to predators. Climate‐related environmental changes may synergistically combine with changes in predator abundance to affect intertidal ecosystems. We examined the influence of two major events on mussel (Mytilus trossulus) abundance in the northern ...

A Decade of Death and Other Dynamics: Deepening Perspectives on the Diversity and Distribution of Sea Stars and Wasting

The Biological Bulletin, 2023
AbstractMass mortality events provide valuable insight into biological extremes and also ecological interactions more generally. The sea star wasting epidemic that began in 2013 catalyzed study of the microbiome, genetics, population dynamics, and community ecology of several high-profile species inhabiting the northeastern Pacific but exposed a dearth

Effects of Sea Star Wasting Disease on Mussel Recruitment

2020
Patterns of recruitment are important when determining community dynamics and adult abundance within an ecosystem. Mussels (Mytilus spp.) are an ecologically important foundation species that provide complex habitat for a diverse suite of marine species and are used as biological indicators for environmental pollution.

The Sea and the Stars and the Wastes of the Desert

University of Toronto Quarterly, 1998
Imagine the following. You are fortunate enough to be able to attend performances of Verdi's Un ballo in maschera in London, Milan, and then New York. The performances are all different — different casts, conductors, orchestras, staging teams — but you of course have expectations of both difference and sameness.

Not another Pandemic! The first records of sea star wasting disease in European Waters

2022
Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD) refers to a suite of clinical signs observed in Asteroidea species, presents to varying degrees as abnormal posture, epidermal ulceration, arm autotomy, and eversion of viscera. We present observations of SSWD in the sunstar Crossaster papposus , the first ...

Vibrio pectenicida strain FHCF-3 is a causative agent of sea star wasting disease

Nature Ecology & Evolution
More than 10 years following the onset of the sea star wasting disease (SSWD) epidemic, affecting over 20 asteroid species from Mexico to Alaska, the causative agent has been elusive. SSWD killed billions of the most susceptible species, sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides), initiating a trophic cascade involving unchecked urchin population ...

Expression of MMP and TIMP genes in the common sea star, Asterias rubens, congruent with the onset of sea star wasting syndrome

Sea stars are a keystone predator species, filling an essential niche in ecosystems across the globe. Sea Star Wasting Syndrome (SSWS)- a suite of loosely defined characteristics which lead to changes in behaviour, followed by the development of a ‘melting’ phenotype. SSWS has been documented in numerous populations and has been observed occurring over
