Competitive titration in living sea urchin embryos of regulatory factors required for expression of the CyIIIa actin gene [PDF]
Previous studies have located some twenty distinct sites within the 2.3 kb 5' regulatory domain of the sea urchin CyIIIa cytoskeletal actin gene, where there occur in vitro high-specificity interactions with nuclear DNA-binding proteins of the embryo ...

ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

The oral-aboral axis of a sea urchin embryo is specified by first cleavage [PDF]
Several lines of evidence suggest that the oral-aboral axis in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos is specified at or before the 8-cell stage. Were the oral-aboral axis specified independently of the first cleavage plane, then a random association of ...

ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Localized Activation of Bending in Proximal, Medial and Distal Regions of Sea-Urchin Sperm Flagella [PDF]
Spermatozoa from the sea urchin, Colobocentrotus atratus, were partially demembranated by extraction with solutions containing Triton X-100 at a concentration which was insufficient to solubilize the membranes completely.

ACC forms via aggregating prenucleation clusters that gatekeep its chemical composition. Ion identity steers the path: Ba and Sr substitute Ca in clusters, thereby inhibiting nucleation, with a dose‐dependent switch of Sr to induction. Mg partitions into Mg‐rich and Mg‐poor clusters; the latter form ACC, expelling Mg.

Re-examination of the Effects of Food Abundance on Jaw Plasticity in Purple Sea Urchins [PDF]
Morphological plasticity is a critical mechanism that animals use to cope with variations in resource availability. During periods of food scarcity, sea urchins demonstrate an increase in jaw length relative to test diameter.

ABSTRACT Global dietary guidelines consistently recommend regular seafood consumption to support adequate omega‐3 long‐chain (≥ C20) polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) intake. Most international health authorities advise two servings of seafood per week, including at least one serve of oily fish, to achieve approximately 500 mg/day of combined ...

Multiple Longitudinal Tracts in the Cephalopod Arm Sensorimotor System
Octopuses have a rich behavioral repertoire, coordinating complex movements along the length of an arm. The neural circuits controlling these behaviors are poorly understood. We employ tract‐tracing to investigate longitudinal tracts in the octopus arm.

Galaxaura divaricata is a partially calcified macroalga that hampers coral recruitment, growth, and recovery via the excretion of allelopathic secondary metabolites. Herbivorous fishes are not major consumers of Galaxaura spp.
