Bioerosive impact of Diadema mexicanum on southern Mexican Pacific coral reefs
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

Sea urchin utilisation in Eastern Indonesia
Sea urchins have long been an important component of gleaning invertebrate fisheries and are valued for their highly nutritious gonads. Sea urchin fisheries are often unreported and unregulated, despite increasing indications of overexploitation. Data on

Grazing in the dark: A behavioural adjustment in a population of the black sea urchin Arbacia lixula
In Mediterranean rocky shores, the black sea urchin Arbacia lixula is often associated with communities dominated by encrusting corallines, devoid of fleshy algae.

Senescence and Longevity of Sea Urchins [PDF]
Sea urchins are a minor class of marine invertebrates that share genetic similarities with humans. For example, the sea urchin species Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is estimated to have 23,300 genes in which the majority of vertebrate gene families are enveloped.

The challenge of managing the commercial harvesting of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus: advanced approaches are required [PDF]
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 ...

Uncommon southwest swells trigger sea urchin disease outbreaks in Eastern Atlantic archipelagos
Recurrent sea urchin mass mortality has recently affected eastern Atlantic populations of the barren‐forming sea urchin Diadema africanum. This new episode of die‐off affords the opportunity to determine common meteorological and oceanographic conditions
