High-Throughput Sequencing Analysis Revealed a Preference for Animal-Based Food in Purple Sea Urchins [PDF]
BiologySea urchins play an important role in marine ecosystems. Owing to limitations in previous research methods, there has been insufficient understanding of the food sources and ecological functional value of purple sea urchins, leading to considerable ...

Can sea urchins beat the heat? Sea urchins, thermal tolerance and climate change
PeerJ, 2015 The massive die-off of the long-spined sea urchin, Diadema antillarum, a significant reef grazer, in the mid 1980s was followed by phase shifts from coral dominated to macroalgae dominated reefs in the Caribbean.

Spotting disease disrupts the microbiome of infected purple sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Spotting disease infects a variety of sea urchin species across many different marine locations. The disease is characterized by discrete lesions on the body surface composed of discolored necrotic tissue that cause the loss of all surface ...

High fitness areas drive the aggregation of the sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Sea urchin aggregation is a common phenomenon in coastlines. However, it remains controversial whether sea urchins form resource aggregations or behavioral aggregations in a non-spawning season.
