In the present study, 1, 15 and 30 sea urchins <i>Strongylocentrotus intermedius</i> (11.06 ± 0.99&nbsp;mm in test diameter) were placed in a 1&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> circular tank, respectively. Movement behaviors were recorded for 12&nbsp;min to investigate potential interactions among sea urchins. After the 12-min control period, we added food cues into the tank and recorded the changes in sea urchins’ behaviors. For the first time, we here quantified the interactions among sea urchins in laboratory and found that the interactions varied with food cues and with different densities. The sea urchins dispersed in random directions after being released. There was no significant difference in the movement speed and the displacement of sea urchins among the three density groups (1, 15 and 30&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup>). The interaction occurred when sea urchins randomly contacted with the conspecifics and slowed down the movement speed. The speed of sea urchins after physical contacts decreased by an average of 40% in the density of 15&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup> and 17% in the density of 30&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup>. This interaction resulted in significantly higher randomness in the movement direction and lower movement linearity in 15 and 30&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup> than in 1&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup>. After the introduction of food cues, the movement speed, displacement and dispersal distance of sea urchin groups decreased significantly in all the three densities. The dispersal distance and expansion speed of sea urchins were significantly lower in 30&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup> than those in 15&nbsp;ind/m<sup>2</sup>. The present study indicates that the interaction among sea urchins limits the movement of individual sea urchin and provides valuable information into how large groups of sea urchins are stable in places where food is plentiful.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Interaction among sea urchins in response to food cues","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-05-12 01:34:10.841734","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-05-21","DateCreate":"2021-05-21","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000658810700019","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"Handle":"10.1038/s41598-021-89471-2"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":338347,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"9985","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"11","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
