The future of utilising semiochemical pest control methods to manage the destructive crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks on coral reefs

Created 17/11/2025

Updated 17/11/2025

A review manuscript providing a much-needed outlook of CoTS chemosensory and semiochemical repertoire, how we might hypothetically utilise semiochemicals with regard to modifying CoTS behaviours and discusses future research directions and the scope for innovative semiochemical technologies with the aim of sustainably controlling CoTS populations, thereby mitigating their devastating outbreaks and destruction of coral reef systems.
