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.

RNA interference in marine and freshwater sponges [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The marine sponge Tethya wilhelma and the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri are emerging model organisms to study evolution, gene regulation, development, and physiology in non-bilaterian animal systems. Thus far, functional methods (i.e.,

Eocene phymaraphiniid demosponges from South Western Australia: filling the gap
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 We describe two new genera of phymaraphiniid lithistid sponges Twertupia gen. nov. and Pickettispongia gen. nov. from the upper Eocene Pallinup Formation of South Western (SW) Australia based on new, rich and very well preserved material. Type material

First Report on Chitin in a Non-Verongiid Marine Demosponge: The Mycale euplectellioides Case
Marine Drugs, 2018 Sponges (Porifera) are recognized as aquatic multicellular organisms which developed an effective biochemical pathway over millions of years of evolution to produce both biologically active secondary metabolites and biopolymer-based skeletal structures ...

Arrested in Glass: Actin within Sophisticated Architectures of Biosilica in Sponges
Advanced Science, 2022 Actin is a fundamental member of an ancient superfamily of structural intracellular proteins and plays a crucial role in cytoskeleton dynamics, ciliogenesis, phagocytosis, and force generation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...
