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 ...

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 ...

Structural and Functional Variations of Enzymes Indicate Latitudinal Adaptations of Subarctic and Arctic Sea Urchins [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRapid environmental changes in Arctic fjord systems due to global warming pose new challenges to benthic key species. Sea urchins of the genus Strongylocentrotus are the main grazers on habitat‐forming kelp and have significant influence on their ...

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.

Sunflower sea star predation on urchins can facilitate kelp forest recovery
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2023 The recent collapse of predatory sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) owing to sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is hypothesized to have contributed to proliferation of sea urchin barrens and losses of kelp forests on the North American west ...

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2006 Injuries caused by venomous and poisonous aquatic animals may provoke important morbidity in humans. The phylum Echinoderma include more than 6000 species of starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers some of which have been found responsible for injuries to humans. Initial injuries by sea urchins are associated with trauma and envenomation,

FACETS, 2022 Overgrazing of habitat-forming kelps by sea urchins is reshaping reef seascapes in many temperate regions. Loss of kelp, in particular as a food source, may alter individual consumer physiology, which in turn may impair their ability to respond to ...
