Genome-wide analysis of the sox family in the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum: multiple genes with unique expression patterns

EvoDevo, 2012
Background Sox genes are HMG-domain containing transcription factors with important roles in developmental processes in animals; many of them appear to have conserved functions among eumetazoans.

Sponge community of the western Black Sea shallow water caves: diversity and spatial distribution [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Marine caves possess unique biocoenotic and ecological characteristics. Sessile benthic species such as sponges associated with cave habitats typically show a marked zonation from the cave entrance towards the end of the cave.

Metazoan Diversity and Its Drivers: An eDNA Survey in the Pacific Gateway of a Changing Arctic Ocean

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
In the face of climate change, organisms must adapt or shift their ranges to survive. Our study conducted the first COI marker‐based eDNA survey in the Pacific Gateway of the Arctic Ocean, analyzing seawater samples from the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea.

Habitat heterogeneity over multiple scales supports dense and diverse megafaunal communities on a northeast Pacific ridge

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 377-392, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are highly heterogeneous, varying across scales of a few meters to entire ocean basins. Understanding the relationship between environmental variability and species distribution is essential for area‐based management and conservation.

Cytotoxicity and Glycan-Binding Properties of an 18 kDa Lectin Isolated from the Marine Sponge <em>Halichondria </em><em>o</em><em>kadai</em>

Toxins, 2012
A divalent cation-independent lectin—HOL-18, with cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells, was purified from a demosponge, <em>Halichondria okadai</em>. HOL-18 is a 72 kDa tetrameric lectin that consists of four non-covalently bonded 18 kDa

Multi‐Taxon Predictions of Deep‐Sea Corals and Sponges From Stacked Species Distribution Models in the United States West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone and Relation to Trawl Closure Zones

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Abundant species distribution models (SDMs) of deep‐sea corals and sponges (DSCS) allow one to make community‐level predictions about DSCS. Pairing that with the conservation information of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) due to their sensitivity to seafloor trawling, one can assess the efficacy of established seafloor protections ...

Demosponge diversity from North Sulawesi, with the description of six new species

ZooKeys, 2017
Sponges are key components of the benthic assemblages and play an important functional role in many ecosystems, especially in coral reefs. The Indonesian coral reefs, located within the so-called “coral triangle”, are among the richest in the world ...

3D Chitin Scaffolds of Marine Demosponge Origin for Biomimetic Mollusk Hemolymph-Associated Biomineralization Ex-Vivo

Marine Drugs, 2020
Structure-based tissue engineering requires large-scale 3D cell/tissue manufacture technologies, to produce biologically active scaffolds. Special attention is currently paid to naturally pre-designed scaffolds found in skeletons of marine sponges, which
