Article Abstract
Here, we report the genomic sequence of strain FHCF-3, isolated from the coelomic fluid of a sunflower sea star () showing signs of wasting disease. The draft genome is 4,368,354 bp with 3,903 coding sequences, including 3 with significant sequence similarity to aerolysin-like toxins.

The crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS, spp.), is responsible for a considerable amount of coral loss in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. After decimating coral populations through predation, it is expected that CoTS will face food scarcity before coral recovery.

The ecological impact of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; spp.) on coral reefs is intrinsically linked to their feeding behaviour. Management thresholds designed to mitigate coral loss driven by elevated densities of crown-of-thorns starfish rely on accurate estimates of individual feeding rates.

This study elucidates the role of the () in sex steroid hormone dynamics and the gonadal development of the commercially important marine bivalve ark shell . The sequence of the gene was obtained and verified from the transcriptome of ark shell, then the tissue localization and expression pattern during the gonad development of the gene were detected by in situ hybridization and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. Additionally, the concentrations of three critical sex steroid hormones (progesterone, testosterone, and estradiol) were measured throughout gonadal development using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Aims: Epilepsy affects more than 50 million peolple worldwide and requires reliable seizure detection systems to mitigate risks associated with unpredictable seizures. Existing machine learning frameworks are limited in generalizability, signal fidelity, and clinical translation, particularly when bridging invasive and non-invasive modalities. This study aims to develop a robust and generalizable seizure detection model capable of supporting cross-modal applicability.

The sunflower star, Pycnopodia helianthoides, was a top benthic predator throughout its former range from Alaska to northern Mexico, until its populations were devastated starting in 2013 by a disease known as seastar wasting. The subsequent absence of sunflower stars from northern California waters was coincident with a dramatic ecological phase shift from healthy bull kelp forests (Nereocystis luetkeana) to barrens formed by purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), a prey of sunflower stars. Modeling suggests that restoration and resilience of kelp forests can be enhanced by the return of sunflower stars.
