Marine organisms are currently challenged by multiple and interactive environmental
stressors. In the subtropics, warming and intensified precipitation, and hence, reduced …

Coolia are marine benthic dinoflagellates which are globally distributed and potentially toxic.
This study provides the first investigation of species diversity and toxicity assessment of …

Metallic pollution is of particular concern in coastal cities. In the Asian megacity of Hong
Kong, despite water qualities have improved over the past decade, some local zones are …

Mesozooplankton abundance and community composition are influenced by hydrography
and biological interactions. In subtropical systems influenced by seasonal monsoons …

The annual reproductive cycle comprises steady gametogenic activities that synchronize
gonadal maturation and spawning rhythms, which are important for aquatic organisms …

The main objective of this study was to describe the reproductive cycle of the sea urchin
Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) on the south Atlantic coast of Morocco. In this study …

The purple sea urchin (Heliocidaris crassispina) is one of the main drivers of ecosystem
dynamics, and its reproductive cycle plays an important role in population structure and size …

Coastal organisms reside in highly dynamic habitats. Global climate change is expected to
alter not only the mean of the physical conditions experienced but also the frequencies …

Trophic cascades are a powerful result of predator-prey relationships in an ecosystem. In
aquatic environments, the signals associated with predators and predation are used by prey …

It is crucial to understand the role of temperature in rearing sea urchin larvae for large-scale
production of sea urchin seeds. The development of purple sea urchins, Heliocidaris …
