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)

The geochemistry of the calcium carbonates of marine organisms is an excellent proxy for reconstruction of the paleoceanographic history. However, previous studies of hypercalcified demosponges (sclerosponges) are considerably fewer than those of corals,

ABSTRACT We characterized the morphogenetic processes of larval metamorphosis and the development of the olynthus and heterocoelic aquiferous system (AS) in Sycettusa hastifera (syconoid) and Paraleucilla magna (leuconoid) (Porifera, Calcarea). Metamorphosis and development up to the olynthus were similar in both species.

In this study we demonstrate that the demosponge Suberites domuncula harbors a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium, a Bacillus strain, termed BAC-SubDo-03. Our studies showed that Mn(II) stimulates bacterial growth and induces sporulation.

Sponges, despite their simple body plan, discriminate between self and nonself with remarkable specificity. Sponge grafting experiments simulate the effects of natural self or nonself contact under laboratory conditions.

The chitinous skeleton of the marine demosponge Ianthella basta exhibits a unique network-like 3D architecture, excellent capillary properties, and chemical inertness, making it highly suitable for interdisciplinary research, especially in biomedical ...

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 ...

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
