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 ...

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.

Phylogenomics of strongylocentrotid sea urchins [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 Strongylocentrotid sea urchins have a long tradition as model organisms for studying many fundamental processes in biology including fertilization, embryology, development and genome regulation but the phylogenetic relationships of the group remain largely unresolved. Although the differing isolating mechanisms of vicariance and rapidly evolving gamete
