The reduction in seawater pH from rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the oceans has
been recognized as an important force shaping the future of marine ecosystems. Therefore …

Ocean acidification and warming could affect animal physiology, key trophic interactions and
ecosystem functioning in the long term. This study investigates the effects of four pH …

CO 2-driven ocean acidification (OA) affects many aspects of sea urchin biology. However,
even in the same species, OA effects are often not univocal due to non-uniform exposure …

This chapter explores the crime that pervades sea cucumber fisheries, through a review of
the extant literature, drawing on detailed media studies and the modus operandi of the …

The feeding activity and burrow ventilation by benthic invertebrates importantly affect the
biodiversity and functioning of seafloor sediments. Here we investigated how ocean …

Ereguero MG, Cordero MA, Dalayap R, Tabugo SR. 2022. Antifungal activity of selected sea
cucumber species from Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines using modified …

The high demand of sea cucumbers in international markets, mostly based in Asia, has left a
deep impact on the natural stock of many species, leading to an investment in aquaculture …

The ever-growing demand for sea cucumbers is a threat to these echinoderms and their
habitats; however, a way to relieve stock pressure lies in meeting demand through …

Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) are ecologically important organisms for their bioturbation
and alkalinization activities of the seabed. These species are extensively fished as they are …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, endogenous, non‐coding RNAs that regulate
gene expression through transcriptional repression of messenger RNA. They play significant …
