Ocean warming alters predicted microbiome functionality in a common sea urchin
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 ...

A basal deuterostome genome viewed as a natural experiment [PDF]
With the determination of its genome sequence the utility of the sea urchin model system increases. The phylogenetic position of the sea urchin among the deuterostomes allows for informative comparisons to vertebrate research models.

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.

Profil Asam Lemak Gonad Lima Spesies Landak Laut (Echinoidea) Dari Pantai Selatan Kabupaten Gunung Kidul Daerah Istimewa YOGYAKARTA [PDF]
Sea urchin (Echinoidea) is an avertebrate animal whose habitat can be found from the intertidal to shallow subtidal areas. Sea urchin has a very important role in reef ecology, especially in intertidal and subtidal areas.

A phylogenomic resolution of the sea urchin tree of life
Echinoidea is a clade of marine animals including sea urchins, heart urchins, sand dollars and sea biscuits. Found in benthic habitats across all latitudes, echinoids are key components of marine communities such as coral reefs and kelp forests. A little

Generation, Annotation, Evolutionary Analysis, and Database Integration of 20,000 Unique Sea Urchin EST Clusters [PDF]
Together with the hemichordates, sea urchins represent basal groups of nonchordate invertebrate deuterostomes that occupy a key position in bilaterian evolution.

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
