The behavior of sympatric sea urchin species across an ecosystem state gradient [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background In temperate macroalgal forests, sea urchins are considered as a keystone species due to their grazing ability. Given their potential to shape benthic communities, we monitored the habitat use by three sympatric sea urchin species and compared

Biotropika: Journal of Tropical Biology, 2023 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

Gastrulation in the sea urchin
, 2020 Gastrulation is arguably the most important evolutionary innovation in the animal kingdom. This process provides the basic embryonic architecture, an inner layer separated from an outer layer, from which all animal forms arise. An extraordinarily simple and elegant process of gastrulation is observed in the sea urchin embryo. The cells participating in

Marking methodologies for sea urchins: a review
, 2023 Many authors have tested a large number of tagging methodologies on sea urchins, either with the aim to study the growth of urchins, their movement patterns, the dynamics of their populations, or their ecology and development in the natural environment ...

Sea Urchin (Echinoidea) Distribution and Abundance in the Intertidal Zone of Bengkayang Regency
Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2018 Sea urchins is the member of Echinoidea. This species can be found in tropical marine water to the poles. The study aimed to know the types, the abundance and spread of sea urchins in Bengkayang Regency. The research, used the transect method.

Sea urchins mediate the availability of kelp detritus to benthic consumers
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Detritus can fundamentally shape and sustain food webs, and shredders can facilitate its availability. Most of the biomass of the highly productive giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, becomes detritus that is exported or falls to the seafloor as litter. We

Establishment of knockout adult sea urchins by using a CRISPR‐Cas9 system
Development, Growth and Differentiation, 2019 Sea urchins are used as a model organism for research on developmental biology and gene regulatory networks during early development. Gene knockdown by microinjection of morpholino antisense oligonucleotide (MASO) has been used to analyze gene function ...

Density-dependent feedbacks, hysteresis, and demography of overgrazing sea urchins.
Ecology, 2019 Sea urchin grazing can result in regime shift from productive kelp beds to sea urchin barren grounds that represent an alternative and stable reef state.

, 2021 CO2-driven ocean acidification affects many aspects of sea urchin biology. However, even in the same species, OA effects are often not univocal due to non-uniform exposure setups or different ecological history of the experimental specimens.
