As part of the reef-composition survey of Palau, Yap, the Federated States of Micronesia, Majuro, and Kiritimati, the erosion to a reef caused by sea urchins was estimated using field surveys, which captured the density and size of sea urchins in transects.
These data were published in van Woesik & Cacciapaglia (2018), van Woesik & Cacciapaglia (2019), and van Woesik & Cacciapaglia (2021).
