Marine plastic debris will move with the flow of water and float and then be fragmented into smaller particles, namely microplastics, sink, and settle on the substrate. Sea urchins, as deposit feeders, can potentially ingest microplastic particles, which

The Addition of Ulva Reticulata as a Stimulant Into Artificial Feed on the Gonad Condition of the Collector Sea Urchin (Tripneustes Gratilla Linnaeus 1758) [PDF]
Dried Ulva reticulata has been proven as a feeding stimulant for the collector sea urchins (Tripneustes gratilla). The purposes of this study were to determine the optimal dose of dried U.

Evolutionary plasticity of developmental gene regulatory network architecture [PDF]
Sea stars and sea urchins evolved from a last common ancestor that lived at the end of the Cambrian, approximately half a billion years ago. In a previous comparative study of the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that embody the genomic program for ...

How to generate pentagonal symmetry using Turing systems [PDF]
We explore numerically the formation of Turing patterns in a confined circular domain with small aspect ratio. Our results show that stable fivefold patterns are formed over a well defined range of disk sizes, offering a possible mechanism for inducing ...

Comparative Raman spectroscopy study of the coelomic fluid of grazing sea urchins and their native seawater: prospect for a potential indicator of environmental aggression [PDF]
Sea urchins have limited ability to move, and they use the watervascular circulation system to pump surrounding sea water in order to set body parts in motion.

Keeping a lid on nodal : transcriptional and translational repression of nodal signalling [PDF]
Nodal is an evolutionarily conserved member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of secreted signalling factors. Nodal factors are known to play key roles in embryonic development and asymmetry in a variety of organisms ranging from ...

The challenge of managing the commercial harvesting of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus: advanced approaches are required [PDF]
Sea urchins act as a keystone herbivore in marine coastal ecosystems, regulating macrophyte density, which offers refuge for multiple species. In the Mediterranean Sea, both the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and fish preying on it are highly valuable ...
