Interaction among sea urchins in response to food cues [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Interaction among sea urchins remains largely uninvestigated, although the aggregation of sea urchins is common. In the present study, 1, 15 and 30 sea urchins Strongylocentrotus intermedius (11.06 ± 0.99 mm in test diameter) were placed in a 1 m2 ...

Senescence and Longevity of Sea Urchins. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2020 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 ...

PLoS ONE, 2017 Sea urchins are broadly recognised as a delicacy and their quality as food for humans is highly influenced by their diet. Lipids in general and the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in particular, are essential nutrients that determine not

Macroalgae and interspecific alarm cues regulate behavioral interactions between sea urchins and sea cucumbers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Sea urchins and sea cucumbers are mutually beneficial organisms in kelp ecosystem. As herbivores, sea urchins process kelp through feeding and egestion, providing inaccessible food for benthic consumers such as sea cucumbers.

Lipidomic Profiling of Edible Japanese Sea Urchins by LC–MS [PDF]
FoodsSea urchins (Echinoidea) are marine echinoderms commonly consumed as seafood in East Asia. To date, various metabolic components of sea urchins have been analyzed, and their health benefits for humans have also been attracting attention.

The feces of sea urchins as food improves survival, growth, and resistance of small sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus in summer [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Mass mortality and low growth highly decrease the production efficiency and sustainable aquaculture development of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus in summer. Sea urchin feces was proposed to address the summer problems.

Density‐dependent feedbacks, hysteresis, and demography of overgrazing sea urchins
Ecology, 2019 Sea urchin grazing can result in regime shift from productive kelp beds to sea urchin barren grounds that represent an alternative and stable reef state.

Sea urchins mediate the availability of kelp detritus to benthic consumers. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2019 Detritus can fundamentally shape and sustain food webs, and shredders can facilitate its availability. Most of the biomass of the highly productive giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, becomes detritus that is exported or falls to the seafloor as litter. We

Establishment of knockout adult sea urchins by using a CRISPR‐Cas9 system
Development Growth and Differentiation, 2019 Sea urchins are used as a model organism for research on developmental biology and gene regulatory networks during early development. Gene knockdown by microinjection of morpholino antisense oligonucleotide (MASO) has been used to analyze gene function ...

Trophic ecology of sea urchins in coral-rocky reef systems, Ecuador [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Sea urchins are important grazers and influence reef development in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). Diadema mexicanum and Eucidaris thouarsii are the most important sea urchins on the Ecuadorian coastal reefs.
