Urchin Searchin’: Red urchins and drift kelp found at 284 m in the mesophotic zone
Ciencias Marinas, 2020 Red sea urchins (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) are kelp-associated ecosystem engineers found in rocky habitats throughout the North Pacific from Baja California, Mexico, to Japan.

Echinoderms display morphological and behavioural phenotypic plasticity in response to their trophic environment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The trophic interactions of sea urchins are known to be the agents of phase shifts in benthic marine habitats such as tropical and temperate reefs. In temperate reefs, the grazing activity of sea urchins has been responsible for the destruction of kelp ...

Biology, 2022 The energetic link in the benthic community is based on physiological characteristics of the low food absorption efficiency of sea urchins. Low food absorption efficiency of sea urchins is correlated with the activity of digestive enzymes and the ...

Behavioral plasticity of nocturnal marine organisms under interspecific competitive pressure
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) are typical nocturnal organisms in the marine benthic ecosystem. However, whether their rhythmic behavior is related to the avoidance of interspecific competition for food resources is unknown.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Conspecific alarm cues crushed from Mesocentrotus nudus prevent sea urchins from foraging the kelp, but do not repel them far away from the kelp. However, it remains largely unknown of whether this phenomenon was affected by conspecific alarm cues or by ...

Sea urchin utilisation in Eastern Indonesia
Ilmu Kelautan, 2023 Sea urchins have long been an important component of gleaning invertebrate fisheries and are valued for their highly nutritious gonads. Sea urchin fisheries are often unreported and unregulated, despite increasing indications of overexploitation. Data on

Eutacticity in Sea Urchin Evolution [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2007 An eutactic star, in a n-dimensional space, is a set of N vectors which can be viewed as the projection of N orthogonal vectors in a N-dimensional space. By adequately associating a star of vectors to a particular sea urchin we propose that a measure of the eutacticity of the star constitutes a measure of the regularity of the sea urchin. Then we study
