Optimizing the biomass balance of macroalgae and sea urchins in kelp beds by removing the urchins
In this study, we conducted sea urchin removal (SUR) experiments at two sites along Hokkaido’s southwestern and northwestern coasts in the Sea of Japan and one site along the northeast coast in the Sea of Okhotsk, to elucidate the biomass balance between

Trans-Species Polymorphism in Mitochondrial Genome of Camarodont Sea Urchins
, 2019 Mitochondrial (mt) genomes of the sea urchins Strongylocentrotus intermedius and Mesocentrotus nudus demonstrate the identical patterns of intraspecific length variability of the ND6 gene, consisting of 489 bp (S variant) and 498 bp (L variant ...

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway
Boreas, EarlyView.The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

, 1984 Predation of morbid sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) by rock crabs (Cancer irroratus) and other predators was observed using SCUBA during an outbreak of disease in southwestern Nova Scotia in August 1983.

The Eocene sea urchins from Plače near Ajdovščina, Western Slovenia
, 2007 Considered are Eocene sea urchins from Pla~e near Ajdov{~ina. Nine specimens were found and eight distinct genera determined: Conoclypus, Echinolampas, Rhyncholampas, Ditremaster, Schizaster, Linthia, Cyclaster and Macropneustes.

Interplay of encrusting coralline algae and sea urchins in maintaining alternative habitats
, 2002 In proximity of shelters, grazing by sea urchins plays a fundamental role in establishing and maintaining areas dominated by encrusting corallines. Much attention has been given to the effects of urchins on algal assemblages in shallow subtidal reefs ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Evolutionary and mechanistic divergence in the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system. Prokaryotic Hsp70s probably diversified into multiple orthologues that cooperated with co‐chaperones such as JDPs and NEF, forming increasingly complex proteostasis networks.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...
