Title: Decoupling behavioral and transcriptional responses to color in an eyeless cnidarian
Author: Reitzel, Adam M., Leach, Whitney
Subjects--Topical: Gene expression, Circadian rhythms
Description: Background Animals have specific molecular, physiological, and behavioral responses to light that are influenced by wavelength and intensity. Predictable environmental changes – predominantly solar and lunar cycles – drive endogenous daily oscilla...

Title: Population genomic analyses of the sea urchin Echinometra sp. EZ across an extreme environmental gradient
Author: Ketchum, Remi, Smith, Edward, DeBiasse, Melissa B., Vaughan, Grace, McParland, Dain, Leach, Whitney, Al-Mansoori, Noura, Ryan, Joseph F., Burt, John A., Reitzel, Adam M.
Subjects--Topical: Sea urchins, Extreme environments, Marine biology
Description: Extreme environmental gradients represent excellent study systems to better understand the variables that mediate patterns of genomic variation between populations. They also allow for more accurate predictions of how future environmental change m...

Title: Some like it hot : population-specific adaptations in venom production to abiotic stressors in a widely distributed cnidarian
Author: Reitzel, Adam M., Sachkova, Maria Y., Macrander, Jason, Surm, Joachim M., Aharoni, Reuven, Menard-Harvey, Shelcie S., Klock, Amy, Leach, Whitney, Moran, Yehu
Subjects--Topical: Predation (Biology), Venom
Description: Background In cnidarians, antagonistic interactions with predators and prey are mediated by their venom, whose synthesis may be metabolically expensive. The potentially high cost of venom production has been hypothesized to drive population-specif...

Title: Symbiotic life of echinoderm larvae
Author: Carrier, Tyler J., Reitzel, Adam M.
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Symbiosis, Life sciences, Marine biology
Description: Echinoderms larvae have served as a fundamental system for understanding development and life history evolution over much of the last century. In the last few decades, our understanding of echinoderm larvae has expanded to the microbiota that they...

Title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the sea urchin, Echinometra sp. EZ
Author: Ketchum, Remi, DeBiasse, Melissa B., Ryan, Joseph F., Burt, John A., Reitzel, Adam M.
Subjects--Topical: Mitochondrial DNA, Sea urchins
Description: The complete mitogenome of Echinometra sp. EZ has been described and fully annotated in this study. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from six Echinometra species confirms that our sample is E. sp. EZ. The mitogenome is...
