This fully revised and expanded edition of Sea Urchins provides a wide-ranging
understanding of the biology and ecology of this key component of the world's oceans …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a recognized source of anthropogenic disturbance, although
its effects on biological systems have not been fully explored. Within marine ecosystems …

The purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus is a Mediterranean and northeastern Atlantic
species. It is particularly common in the subtidal zone, down to depths of 10–20 m and in …

CO 2-driven ocean acidification (OA) affects many aspects of sea urchin biology. However,
even in the same species, OA effects are often not univocal due to non-uniform exposure …

The aim of the present study was to address a knowledge gap on population
characterization of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus in western Algeria. P. lividus were …

Globally, marine subtidal hard-substrate habitats provide important ecological functions to a
variety of sessile and mobile taxa. The southern North Sea is a marine environment with …

Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) are intensively investigated as they pose major
threats to marine organism. However, little effort is dedicated to another collateral climate …

Sea urchins are important components of marine ecosystems and can act as bioindicators,
reflecting the health of reefs. The spatial patterns of sea urchins are largely shaped by the …

Regenerating structures critical for survival provide excellent model systems for the study of
phenotypic plasticity. These body components must regenerate their morphology and …

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of flow velocity (FV) on the growth and
muscle texture of Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai). Abalones were cultured at three …
