Tripneustes depressus is the largest sea urchin species in the Galápagos Islands with a mean diameter of 11.5 cm (4.5 in). The growth rate averages 0.5 mm (0.02 in) per month. [ 4 ] There is very little difference in morphology between T. depressus , Tripneustes gratilla and Tripneustes ventricosus ; they are suspected of being the same ...
It is one of the few sea urchin that can survive many hours out of water. [45] Sea urchins can be found in all climates, from warm seas to polar oceans. [40] The larvae of the polar sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri have been found to use energy in metabolic processes twenty-five times more efficiently than do most other organisms. [46]

The mitochondrial DNA of the Antarctic sea urchin and several other urchins found in the circumpolar region was examined in order to assess their phylogenetic relationships. It was found that Sterechinus neumayeri was most closely related to Paracentrotus lividus and Loxechinus albus , both of which are found in the southernmost part of South ...
Light from a remotely operated vehicle reveals a “huge” crowd of sea urchins, gathered in the dark roughly 1,350 feet below the surface, all wearing “hats,” made of debris, on the tops of ...
The red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) [1] is a sea urchin found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California.
