High peak settlement of Diadema antillarum on different artificial collectors in the Eastern Caribbean

Alwin Hylkema et al.

Summary: The massive die-off of the herbivorous sea urchin Diadema antillarum in 1983 and 1984 resulted in phase shifts on Caribbean coral reefs. The recovery of D. antillarum has been slow to non-existent on most reefs. This study aimed to compare pre and post die-off settlement rates and to determine the effectiveness of settlement collectors for D. antillarum. The research found that bio ball collectors were the most effective and reproducible method.

The reduction of harmful algae on Caribbean coral reefs through the reintroduction of a keystone herbivore, the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum

Stacey M. Williams

Summary: This study demonstrated the significant impact of restocking native sea urchins on the benthic structure of coral reefs, leading to reductions in fleshy macroalgae and encrusting red algae. The results highlight the importance of herbivores in improving conditions on coral reefs, emphasizing the non-invasive and beneficial approach of restoring key herbivores such as Diadema antillarum.
