Filtration Rates and Scaling in Demosponges [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 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.

A global dataset of demosponge distribution records
Data in BriefBiodiversity information in the form of species occurrence records is key for monitoring and predicting current and future biodiversity patterns, as well as for guiding conservation and management strategies. However, the reliability and accuracy of this

Respiration kinetics and allometric scaling in the demosponge Halichondria panicea
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Background The aquiferous system in sponges represents one of the simplest circulatory systems used by animals for the internal uptake and distribution of oxygen and metabolic substrates.

Demospongic Acids Revisited [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 The well-known fatty acids with a D5,9 unsaturation system were designated for a long period as demospongic acids, taking into account that they originally occurred in marine Demospongia sponges. However, such acids have also been observed in various marine sources with a large range of chain-lengths (C16–C32) and from some terrestrial plants with ...

A genomic view of the microbiome of coral reef demosponges [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2021 Abstract Sponges underpin the productivity of coral reefs, yet few of their microbial symbionts have been functionally characterised. Here we present an analysis of ~1200 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) spanning seven sponge species and 25 microbial phyla.

Molecular biodiversity of Red Sea demosponges [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016 Sponges are important constituents of coral reef ecosystems, including those around the Arabian Peninsula. Despite their importance, our knowledge on demosponge diversity in this area is insufficient to recognize, for example, faunal changes caused by anthropogenic disturbances.

Establishment of Transgenesis in the Demosponge Suberites domuncula [PDF]
Genetics, 2018 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

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Approximately 80% of all described extant sponge species belong to the class Demospongiae. Yet, despite their diversity and importance, accurate divergence times are still unknown for most demosponge clades.
