Successful fertilization in marine organisms that release sperm into seawater is potentially
limited by the rapid dilution of gametes; cases of severe sperm limitation have been …

Echinoderms play a key role in structuring many marine ecosystems and are notorious for
large population density variations in so‐called “outbreak” or “dieoff” events. In a review of …

The barrens-forming sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii (Diadematidae) has recently
undergone poleward range-extension to Tasmania where grazing of diverse and …

Sea urchin grazing can result in regime shift from productive kelp beds to sea urchin barren
grounds that represent an alternative and stable reef state. Here we examine the stability of …

Because male distribution and abundance strongly influence female fertilization success,
density‐dependent selection might act on gamete traits to maximize reproductive success …

In this study, we investigated whether failure of sea urchin recruitment can explain an
ongoing phase shift from overgrazed, barren grounds to kelp forests along the coast of mid …

Sperm quality of the sea urchin, Anthocidaris crassispina, after exposure to environmentally
realistic UV-B irradiances, was assessed by changes in sperm motility (measured by the …

Spatial subsidies link adjacent habitats and can have strong effects on recipient systems.
Within temperate nearshore marine ecosystems, algae dominate rocky benthic communities …
