In situ measurements of righting behavior in the common sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus: the importance of body size, substrate type, and covering material

Righting behavior has been used extensively in laboratory studies of sea urchins as an indicator of stress under various environmental conditions. In situ measurements of the natural righting response of sea urchins would serve to place such laboratory measurements in an ecological context as well a...
