Direct Development of Golf Ball Sponges, Genus Craniella (Demospongiae, Tetractinellida) From the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Among the eight types of development in sponges, the least common and least studied is direct, non‐larval development during viviparity. To supplement our knowledge of this rare type of demosponge development, we present here a description of the embryonic development of four species of the genus Craniella (Demospongiae, order Tetractinellida)

The order Axinellida (Porifera: Demospongiae) in California [PDF]
Sponges are common and diverse in California, but they have received little study in the region, and the identities of many common species remain unclear. Here we combine fresh collections and museum vouchers to revise the order Axinellida for California.

Two known Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), 3,4,5-tribromo-2-(2′,4′-dibromophenoxy)phenol (1d) and 3,4,5,6-tetrabromo-2-(2′,4′-dibromophenoxy)phenol (2b), were isolated from the Indonesian marine sponge Lamellodysidea herbacea.

Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux. [PDF]
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.

Sponges are aquatic, spineless organisms that belong to the phylum Porifera. They come in three primary classes: Hexactinellidae, Demospongiae, and Calcarea. The Demospongiae class is the most dominant, making up over 90% of sponge species.

Uncovering the hidden diversity of Paleogene sponge fauna of the East European Platform through reassessment of the record of isolated spicules [PDF]
Despite being reported from various localities and stratigraphic intervals, knowledge of the siliceous sponges from the Cenozoic of Eastern Europe remains surprisingly limited.

Eocene phymaraphiniid demosponges from South Western Australia: filling the gap
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
