Sensitivity of Mediterranean amphipods and sea urchins to reference toxicants

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2002
 Toxicity tests were performed in two amphipod species, Gammarus aequicauda and Microdeutopus gryllotalpa, and three sea urchin species, Arbacia lixula, Paracentrotus lividus and Sphaerechinus granularis.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Tool Use by Four Species of Indo-Pacific Sea Urchins

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
We compared the covering behavior of four sea urchin species, Tripneustes gratilla, Pseudoboletia maculata, Toxopneustes pileolus, and Salmacis sphaeroides found in the waters of Malapascua Island, Cebu Province and Bolinao, Panagsinan Province ...

Laboratory on sea urchin fertilization [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Reproduction and Development, 2011
AbstractSince about 1880, the eggs and sperm of sea urchins have been used for the study of fertilization, the metabolic activation of development and gene regulatory mechanisms governing embryogenesis. Sea urchin gametes are a favorite material for observations of the process of fertilization in advanced high school, community college, and university ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Automated object detection based on YOLOv11 for monitoring benthic population dynamics: A new approach combining photogrammetry and open‐source GIS tools applied to sea cucumbers

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research established a new object detection model based on YOLOv11 to recognise benthic organisms, specifically sea cucumbers, by utilising high‐resolution photogrammetric‐based orthomosaics acquired along infralittoral Mediterranean Sea beds. The model demonstrated impressive performance metrics and, when combined with the Deepness plugin for the

DIVERSITY, MORPHOMETRY, AND POPULATION ABUNDANCE OF SEA URCHIN (Tripneustes gratilla) IN NORTH LOMBOK

open access: yesBiotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology
Article Highlights - The highest absolute abundance of sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla was observed in August 2023 - In 2024, the low absolute abundance of Tripneustes gratilla and the decline of sea urchin species diversity in North Lombok ...

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.

Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,
