Isolation of elatol from Laurencia microcladia and its palatability to the sea urchin Echinometra lucunter

Elatol was isolated as the major compound from the red alga Laurencia microcladia Kütz. collected in Southern Brazil. This is the first report of elatol in this species. We also investigated the herbivore behaviour of the black sea urchin Echinometra lucunter (Linnaeus, 1758) towards L. microcladia,...
