• Response of sea urchin pluteus larvae (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) to reduced seawater pH: a comparison among a tropical, temperate, and a polar species (2009, background): “Sea urchins are often the dominant grazer in many communities (Lawrence 2007) and can act as a keystone species, therefore changes in their survival or growth may lead to ecosystem scale shifts.”
• A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms (2009, background): “TS NE Atlantic, Iceland C P Heliaster kubiniji D unidentified disease, triggered by unusually warm temperatures shift in prey densities, reduced diversity TS NE Pacific, Mexico C P Asteroidea, Valvatida Acanthaster plancii F eutrophication or overfishing? coral decline, loss of diversity CR Indo-Pac”
• Extensive direct measurements of Posidonia oceanica defoliation confirm the importance of herbivory in temperate seagrass meadows (2007, background): “…is commonly seen feeding at depths between 3 and 10 m (but up to 20 m), particularly during the warm period (i.e. late June to late September; Tomas et al. 2005), and densities of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus are higher in the upper sublittoral (0.5 to 10 m; Boudouresque & Verlaque 2001).”
• Settlement and recruitment of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus in two contrasting habitats in the Mediterranean (2004, background): “Their key role in benthic communities explains the interest of marine ecologists in different aspects of their biology and ecology, and the extensive literature devoted to these issues (e.g. Lawrence & Sammarco 1982, Jangoux & Lawrence 1983, Lawrence 2001).”
• Effects of the edible sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus, fishery along the Apulian rocky coast (SE Italy, Mediterranean Sea) (2004, background): “Several sea urchin species are intensively harvested in many regions for the delicacy of their gonads (Lawrence, 2001).”
