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

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Seasonal Growth Rate of the Sponge Haliclona oculata (Demospongiae: Haplosclerida) [PDF]
, 2008 The interest in sponges has increased rapidly since the discovery of potential new pharmaceutical compounds produced by many sponges. A good method to produce these compounds by using aquaculture of sponges is not yet available, because there is ...
