Overgrazing of habitat-forming kelps by sea urchins is reshaping reef seascapes in many temperate regions. Loss of kelp, in particular as a food source, may alter individual consumer physiology, which in turn may impair their ability to respond to climate warming. Here, we measured the ...
Sea Urchin Identification Green sea urchins can grow to about 3" across, and 1.5" high. They are covered in thin, short spines. The sea urchin's mouth (called Aristotle's lantern) is located on its underside, and its anus is on its top side, in a spot that is not covered with spin...
More severe disturbance regimes drive the shift of a kelp forest to a sea urchin barren in south-eastern Australia Article Open access 09 July 2020 Introduction Habitat deterioration and destruction are among the most pervasive threats to ecological function, and are occurring in coastal areas globa...
The habitat of green algae is diverse, ranging from the ocean to freshwater. Rarely, green algae can also be found on land, largely on rocks and trees, with some appearing on the surface of snow. They are common in areas where light is abundant, such as shallow water andtide pools, and...
São Tomé Island, a crucial nesting and feeding habitat for green sea turtles, underscores the urgent need for comprehensive research in this ecologically significant area. This study aimed to investigate whether metals and metalloids in the blood of nesting female green sea turtles induce genotoxic...

[32,33], the transporter inventory in decapod crustacean gill epithelia and their functional interactions are not fully understood at present. AsC. maenasis exposed to regular short-term fluctuations in pH in its highly variable habitat in the western Baltic Sea [19], not only changes in gene ...
Explain how the evolution of roots and simple vascular transport expanded the habitat of plants onto land. What is a unique feature of ferns in comparison with angiosperms? (a) One type of spore is produced (b) Gametophytes are part of...
