Abstract

Larvae are a diverse set of postembryonic life forms distinct from juveniles or adults that have evolved in many animal phyla. Echinoids (sea urchins and sand dollars) generate rapidly developing, morphologically simple, and optically transparent larvae and are a well-established model system supported by a broad array of genomic resources, experimental approaches, and imaging techniques. As such, they provide a unique opportunity to study postembryonic processes such as endocrine signaling, immunity, host-microbe interactions, and regeneration. Here we review a broad array of literature focusing on these important processes in sea urchin larvae, providing support for the claim that they represent excellent experimental study systems. Specifically, there is strong evidence emerging that endocrine signaling, immunity, and host-microbe interactions play major roles in larval development and physiology. Future research should take advantage of sea urchin larvae as a model to study these processes in more detail.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2018.
All research outputs
#13,387,405
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Results and problems in cell differentiation
#60
of 217 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#164,303
of 330,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Results and problems in cell differentiation
#6
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 217 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,798 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
