Sex-specific expression of pheromones and other signals in gravid starfish
Background Many echinoderms form seasonal aggregations prior to spawning. In some
fecund species, a spawning event can lead to population outbreaks with detrimental …

Induction of larval settlement in crown-of-thorns starfish is not mediated by conspecific cues
Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) remain a major
cause of coral reef degradation throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans and are inherently …

Neoichnological analysis of sea stars in the deep sea near the Aleutian Trench: behavioral insights from in situ observations
The study of biogenic structures (eg, lebensspuren) produced by benthic fauna on the
seafloor provides invaluable information about the behavior of their tracemakers. In the case …

Cloning and selfing affect population genetic variation in simulations of outcrossing, sexual sea stars
Many sea stars are well known for facultative or obligate asexual reproduction in both the
adult and larval life-cycle stages. Some species and lineages are also capable of facultative …

[HTML][HTML] Dead foundation species create coral rubble habitat that benefits a resilient pest species
Critical loss of habitat is the greatest threat to biodiversity, yet some species are inherently
plastic to and may even benefit from changes in ecosystem states. The crown-of-thorns sea …
