For decades, scientists theorized a starfish didn’t have heads. A new study finds that they might, in fact, only have heads.
Together, the data created a 3D map to determine where genes were expressed as sea stars developed and grew. The team was able to determine the genes that control the development of the starfish ...
The starfish body plan consists of five to six arms radiating from a central disk. Regenerative ability differs greatly among starfish species, but can generally be classified within three categories: unidirectional regeneration, disk-dependent bidirectional regeneration, and disk-independent bidirectional regeneration.
Leptasterias is a genus of starfish in the family Asteriidae and order Forcipulatida. [3] It is often noted that members in the genus have six arms, [4] however, occasionally five-armed specimen can occur. They are also characterized by having several cryptic species complexes. [5]
Patiria miniata, the bat star, sea bat, webbed star, or broad-disk star, is a species of sea star (also called a starfish) in the family Asterinidae. It typically has five arms, with the center disk of the animal being much wider than the stubby arms are in length. [2] Although the bat star usually has five arms, it sometimes has as many as ...
