Primary global occurrence and modelling study of living Echinoidea. It documents bathymetric, feeding and life-mode breadth but does not infer one ancestral echinoid ecology or body-size envelope.
Living Echinoidea span shallow- and deep-water, epifaunal and infaunal, omnivorous and detritivorous modes; neither the global occurrence study nor disarticulated stem plates establishes one ancestral ecology or body-size envelope.
