Molecular Star Gazing: Development and Validation of an Environmental DNA Assay for the Imperiled Sunflower Sea Star ( <i>Pycnopodia helianthoides</i> )

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

The sunflower sea star ( Pycnopodia helianthoides ) suffered a catastrophic population decline across its range from 2013 to 2017 due to the devastating Vibrio pectenicida FHCF-3 driven sea star wasting disease (SSWD) pandemic with minimal signs of population recovery. The functional extinction of this apex predator across substantial parts of its range has created a need to identify and track the remaining inta...
