The sea urchin larva possesses a well-defined tripartite digestive system, consisting of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine, with each compartment separated by distinct sphincters. Disclaimer ...

Additionally, studies on larval development have focused on the effects of marine microalgae as food sources for sea urchin larvae, particularly Anthocidaris crassipina. Research demonstrated that ...

Turbulence triggers transformation of sea urchin larvae into a state ready to settle down on rocks in response to a chemical signal, researchers have found. These larvae have just begun to transform.

One significant area of research has been the response of sea urchin larvae to environmental stimuli, particularly light. A study demonstrated that planktonic sea urchin larvae can change their ...

I was looking at how organisms absorb CO2 into their skeletons and in particular the sea urchin which converts the CO2 to calcium carbonate. "When we analysed the surface of the urchin larvae we ...

We recently discovered evidence that a signaling pathway involving the protein chaperone Hsp90, nitric oxide (NO), and cGMP negatively regulates the initiation of metamorphosis in sea urchin and ...

Marine biologists studied the growth of urchin larvae at a coral nursery in Key Largo as part of an initiative to regrow the corals and sea urchins lost to coral bleaching. This footage captured in ...
