• Using historical data to detect temporal changes in the abundances of intertidal species on Irish shores (2005, background): “Increases in UV radiation a¡ect many aquatic species including phytoplankton (Ha« der et al., 1998), corals (Brown et al., 1994), amphibians (Blaustein et al., 2000), sea urchins (Adams, 2001; Verling et al., 2002) and anemones (Westholt et al., 1999).”
• Multiple factors explain the covering behaviour in the green sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis (2007, background): “Some sea urchins cover themselves for days or weeks at a time (Douglas 1976; James 2000), whereas others pick up and drop materials within hours, and some sea urchins show a daily pattern in covering (Millott 1956; Sharp & Gray 1962; Lees & Carter 1972; Adams 2001; Barnes & Crook 2001).”
