Polyp loss and mass occurrence of sea urchins on bamboo corals in the deep sea: an indirect effect of fishing impact?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3564
Abstract: The ability of corals to detach their polyps (leaving behind a naked skeleton) in times of stress, allows polyps to escape from a local source of hostility (Sammarco 1982). In situ observations of this behavior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3301-7
Abstract: The sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus inhabits seagrass meadows in the northern Gulf of Mexico where seasonal high temperatures are already capable of inducing physiological stress. Climate change will increasingly expose individuals to longer periods of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3342-y
Abstract: Memory and learning in invertebrates with decentralized nervous systems is poorly understood and sea urchins are no exception. Following up on previous studies of locomotory direction in sea urchins, the regular sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10811-019-02030-1
Abstract: The annual kelp Saccharina japonica grows along the northeastern coast of Japan, making the coast highly productive for the fishery for herbivores such as sea urchins and abalones. The biomass of the kelp along this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0677-4
Abstract: Many reef fish are known to be associated with particular microhabitats that provide food and refuge, such as branching corals, gorgonians, macroalgal beds and sea urchins. We investigate the association of reef fishes with the… read more here.
