Abstract: Starfish (Phylum Echinodermata) are of interest from an evolutionary perspective because as deuterostomian invertebrates they occupy an "intermediate" phylogenetic position with respect to chordates (e.g. vertebrates) and protostomian invertebrates (e.g. Drosophila). Furthermore, starfish are model… read more here.

Abstract: Relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide (RGP) is a hormone with gonadotropin-like activity in starfish. This study revealed that spawning inducing activity was detected in an extract of brachiolaria larvae of Patiria pectinifera. Spawning inducing activity in the… read more here.
