Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA methylation is crucial for genome regulation and provides key insights into the interaction between genetics and environmental factors, offering valuable perspectives for ecological research. However, knowledge of DNA methylation patterns in nonmodel invertebrates remains limited.

Marine Spongin: Naturally Prefabricated 3D Scaffold-Based Biomaterial

Marine Drugs, 2018
The biosynthesis, chemistry, structural features and functionality of spongin as a halogenated scleroprotein of keratosan demosponges are still paradigms. This review has the principal goal of providing thorough and comprehensive coverage of spongin as a

A Comprehensive DNA Barcode Reference Library for the Macroinvertebrates of Scottish Seagrass Beds Using Oxford Nanopore Flongle Flowcells

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
In this study we use ONT Flongle Flowcells to produced DNA barcodes for 146 seagrass associated marine invertebrate OTUs collected from four seagrass beds in Scotland, targeting COI and 18S V4 regions. We generate the first DNA barcode reference library for seagrass beds in Scotland to support future biomonitoring of these priority habitats.

Collagen from the Marine Sponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus: Isolation and Morphological, Biochemical, and Biophysical Characterization

Marine Drugs, 2017
In search of alternative and safer sources of collagen for biomedical applications, the marine demosponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus, collected from the Aegean and the Ionian Seas, respectively, were comparatively studied for their ...

Antifouling activity of twelve demosponges from Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Benthic marine organisms are constantly exposed to fouling, which is harmful to most host species. Thus, the production of secondary metabolites containing antifouling properties is an important ecological advantage for sessile organisms and may also ...

Divergence times in demosponges (Porifera): first insights from new mitogenomes and the inclusion of fossils in a birth-death clock model

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.

Insights into the reproduction of some Antarctic dendroceratid, poecilosclerid, and haplosclerid demosponges.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Sponges are a dominant element of the Antarctic benthic communities, posing both high species richness and large population densities. Despite their importance in Antarctic ecosystems, very little is known about their reproductive patterns and strategies.
