Bioerosive impact of Diadema mexicanum on southern Mexican Pacific coral reefs
Ciencias Marinas, 2016 Reef ecosystem growth and maintenance is closely related to sea urchin feeding activities. Hence, quantifying the bioerosive capacity of the sea urchin Diadema mexicanum is necessary to evaluate its impact on coral communities and reefs that develop off

Ocean warming alters predicted microbiome functionality in a common sea urchin
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 The microbiome of sea urchins plays a role in maintaining digestive health and innate immunity. Here, we investigated the effects of long-term (90 day) exposure to elevated seawater temperatures on the microbiome of the common, subtropical sea urchin ...

The challenge of managing the commercial harvesting of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus: advanced approaches are required [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Sea urchins act as a keystone herbivore in marine coastal ecosystems, regulating macrophyte density, which offers refuge for multiple species. In the Mediterranean Sea, both the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and fish preying on it are highly valuable ...
