The crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) inhabits coral reefs across the Pacific Ocean. Based on studies in the Western Pacific, when densities exceed ∼15 specimens per ha, coral reef degradation due to COTS predation may occur. There is little information about the role of COTS on coral reefs in the tropical eastern Pacific, although p...
The functional diversity of echinoderms has been understudied, even though these organisms are critical components of various ecosystems, including coral reefs and hard-bottom benthic communities. Additionally, there are only a few papers relating the protection level of marine protected areas (MPAs) with functional diversity. In this study, we cal...

In this study we estimated population density of D. mexicanum, as well as natural mortality and spatial distribution in 2 affected localities (San Agustín and Isla Montosa) during a sub...
