Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 8, Page 505-516, December 2025.Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.

Vertical Transmission of a Phylogenetically Complex Microbial Consortium in the Viviparous Sponge \u3cem\u3eIrcinia Felix\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2007 Many marine demosponges contain large amounts of phylogenetically complex yet highly sponge-specific microbial consortia within the mesohyl matrix, but little is known about how these microorganisms are acquired by their hosts.

Scientific Reports, 2017 The two major extant groups of siliceous sponges, Demospongiae and Hexactinellida, are generally regarded as sister groups forming the clade Silicea, although the nature of their last common ancestor is uncertain.

Coralline demosponges ; a geobiological portrait
, 2001 The polyphyletic coralline demosponges possess a calcareous basal skeleton of 4 major morphotypes. Each has its own phylogenetic history, with different mechanisms of formation. One extant taxon of each skeletal type has been investigated, and its biochemical (e.g., intracrystalline organic matrix proteins), geochemical (e.g., stable isotopes), and ...

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

On the dissolution of sponge silica: Assessing variability and biogeochemical implications
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The dissolution of the biogenic silica that constitutes the skeletons of silicifying organisms is an important mechanism for regenerating dissolved silicon in the ocean.

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.

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 ...

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.
