Chemical defenses of the tropical marine seaweed Canistrocarpus cervicornis against herbivory by sea urchin
This paper reports on the defensive chemical properties of the marine tropical brown seaweed Canistrocarpus cervicornis against herbivory. A natural concentration of dichloromethane crude extract (DCE) obtained from this seaweed significantly inhibited feeding by the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus...
