Coral-eating crown-of-thorns seastars (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) are major contributors to the
coral reef crises across the Indo-Pacific region. Until recently, CoTS throughout the Indo …

The coral predators, crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS, Acanthaster spp.) remain a major
cause of extensive and widespread coral loss in Indo-Pacific coral reefs. With increased …

Understanding of adaptation and evolution of organisms in the deep sea requires more
genomic resources. Zoroaster cf. ophiactis is a sea star in the family Zoroasteridae occurring …

Crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) outbreaks rank among the greatest threats to coral
