The chromosomal genome sequence of the fragile freshwater sponge, Eunapius fragilis (Leidy, 1851) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Eunapius fragilis (fragile freshwater sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Spongillida; Spongillidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 218.91 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.98%) is scaffolded into

Two new species in the family Axinellidae (Porifera, Demospongiae) from British Columbia and adjacent waters

ZooKeys, 2013
Two new species of Demospongiae are described for British Columbia and adjacent waters in the family Axinellidae, Auletta krautteri sp. n. and Dragmacidon kishinensis sp. n. They represent range extensions for both of these genera.

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

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.

The chromosomal genome sequence of the sponge Crambe crambe (Schmidt, 1862) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Crambe crambe (Porifera; Demospongiae; Poecilosclerida; Crambeidae). The host genome sequence is 143.20 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

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 ...
