Evidence That Microorganisms at the Animal-Water Interface Drive Sea Star Wasting Disease
Sea star wasting (SSW) disease describes a condition affecting asteroids that resulted in significant Northeastern Pacific population decline following a mass mortality event in 2013. The etiology of SSW is unresolved. We hypothesized that SSW is a sequela of microbial organic matter remineralizatio...
