Transcriptome profiling of the demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica reveals genome-wide events that accompany major life cycle transitions [PDF]
Background: The biphasic life cycle with pelagic larva and benthic adult stages is widely observed in the animal kingdom, including the Porifera (sponges), which are the earliest branching metazoans.

The Middle Cambrian Murero Formation in the Iberian Chain (NE Spain) has yielded a small collection of softbodied fossils (palaeoscolecid worms, onychophorans, algae), a host of fossils from organisms with mineralized skeletons such as trilobites and ...

It has been 80 years since Leonard Axel Jägerskiöld’s thorough marine faunistic inventory of the Swedish west coast (1921-1938), which represents the latest update of the Swedish sponge marine fauna. In this study, we present an update of the demosponge

Selenium affects biosilica formation in the demosponge Suberites domuncula
Selenium is a trace element found in freshwater and the marine environment. We show that it plays a major role in spicule formation in the demosponge Suberites domuncula.

Depth regulation in demosponge parenchymella larvae
To assess factors that influence depth regulation of sponge larvae, we documented ontogenetic changes In larval size and shape, lipid and protein content, skeletal development, and photoresponse in Sigmadocia caerulea, a shallow-water demosponge in the

Comparative CO2 and SiO2 hydratase activity of an enzyme from the siliceous demosponge Suberites domuncula [PDF]
Silicase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of silicon-oxygen bonds, is a crucial player in breaking down silicates into silicic acid, particularly in organisms like aquatic sponges with siliceous skeletons.
