Abstract
Sea urchins are well known for their regenerative ability that can reconstruct damaged external appendages. Here, we present evidence for the purple sea urchin Heliocidaris crassispina in subtropical Hong Kong to survive and recover after partial removal of the peristomial membrane and spines.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of Marine Science is a hybrid open access journal dedicated to the dissemination of research dealing with the waters of the world’s oceans. All aspects of marine science are treated by the Bulletin of Marine Science, including papers in marine biology, biological oceanography, fisheries, marine policy, applied marine physics, marine geology and geophysics, marine and atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and physical oceanography. In most regular issues the Bulletin features separate sections on new taxa, coral reefs, and novel research gear, instrument, device, or system with potential to advance marine research (“Research Tools in Marine Science”). Additionally, the Bulletin publishes informative stand-alone artwork with accompany text in its section "Portraits of Marine Science."
