Filtration Rates and Scaling in Demosponges
Demosponges are modular filter-feeding organisms that are made up of aquiferous units or modules with one osculum per module. Such modules may grow to reach a maximal size.

Sponges pump large amounts of seawater through their water canal system, providing both food and oxygen to the sponge body. Sponge pumping activity may show considerable variation as a consequence of contractile behavior, which includes contraction and ...

The ontogeny of choanocyte chambers during metamorphosis in the demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica [PDF]
Background The aquiferous body plan of poriferans revolves around internal chambers comprised of choanocytes, a cell type structurally similar to choanoflagellates.

Determination of the Halogenated Skeleton Constituents of the Marine Demosponge Ianthella basta [PDF]
Demosponges of the order Verongida such as Ianthella basta exhibit skeletons containing spongin, a collagenous protein, and chitin. Moreover, Verongida sponges are well known to produce bioactive brominated tyrosine derivatives.

Demosponge steroid biomarker 26-methylstigmastane provides evidence for Neoproterozoic animals [PDF]
Sterane biomarkers preserved in ancient sedimentary rocks hold promise for tracking the diversification and ecological expansion of eukaryotes. The earliest proposed animal biomarkers from demosponges (Demospongiae) are recorded in a sequence around 100 ...

Establishment of Transgenesis in the Demosponge Suberites domuncula [PDF]
Abstract Sponges (Porifera) represent one of the most basally branching animal clades with key relevance for evolutionary studies, stem cell biology, and development. Despite a long history of sponges as experimental model systems, however, functional molecular studies are still very difficult to perform in these animals. Here, we report

Direct Development of Golf Ball Sponges, Genus Craniella (Demospongiae, Tetractinellida) From the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Among the eight types of development in sponges, the least common and least studied is direct, non‐larval development during viviparity. To supplement our knowledge of this rare type of demosponge development, we present here a description of the embryonic development of four species of the genus Craniella (Demospongiae, order Tetractinellida)
