Co‐creating solutions to the hidden impacts of climate change on Canada's Pacific kelp forests

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Co‐designed research driven by the information needs of coastal communities can enhance social‐ecological resilience to climate change. On the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, the 2014–2015 marine heatwave triggered an outbreak of an encrusting bryozoan (Membranipora spp.) on giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), an ecologically ...

Genomic signatures of exceptional longevity and negligible aging in the long-lived red sea urchin

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: The red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) is one of the Earth’s longest-living animals, reported to live more than 100 years with indeterminate growth, life-long reproduction, and no increase in mortality rate with age.

Effect of ocean acidification on growth, gonad development and physiology of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus

open access: yes, 2013
Ocean acidification, due to diffusive uptake of atmospheric CO2, has potentially pro- found ramifications for the entire marine ecosystem. Scientific knowledge on the biological impacts of ocean acidification is rapidly accumulating; however, data are ...

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Thermal and hydrodynamic environments mediate individual and aggregative feeding of a functionally important omnivore in reef communities.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In eastern Canada, the destruction of kelp beds by dense aggregations (fronts) of the omnivorous green sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, is a key determinant of the structure and dynamics of shallow reef communities.

Lack of sea urchin settlement may explain kelp forest recovery in overgrazed areas in Norway

open access: yes, 2013
In this study, we investigated whether failure of sea urchin recruitment can explain an ongoing phase shift from overgrazed, barren grounds to kelp forests along the coast of mid- Norway. Settlement of sea urchins on artificial substrates deployed in mid-

Studies on the ketocarotenoid pigments in the sea urchin gonads of Stomopneustes variolaris from the Mandapam Coast of Gulf of Mannar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sea urchin gonads of Stomopneustes variolaris is a delicacy in many parts of the world. The bright yellow orange colour of the gonad derives from the carotenoids pigments and an important organoleptic criterion for its quality.

Using AlphaFold and Symmetrical Docking to Predict Protein–Protein Interactions for Exploring Potential Crystallization Conditions

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein crystallization remains a major bottleneck in X‐ray crystallography due to difficulties in achieving favorable molecular arrangements within the crystal lattice. While protein–protein interactions at molecular packing interfaces are crucial for determining crystallization conditions, methods for predicting crystal packing interfaces ...
