Science, 2006 The announcement of the sequencing of the genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is the latest glowing chapter in the long history of contributions from sea urchin researchers to fundamental principles of cell biology, developmental biology, and gene regulation.

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

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

How to generate pentagonal symmetry using Turing systems [PDF]
, 2002 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]
Aerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2018 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.

The challenge of managing the commercial harvesting of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus: advanced approaches are required [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 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 ...
