Results 71 to 80 of about 4,207 (201)
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.The microbiome profile of freshwater sponges did not broadly change in taxonomy or functional profile based on metatranscriptome analysis prior to and after formation of sponge dormant bodies (gemmules). Results highlight a subset of taxa that likely associate with the sponge host in different ways from facultative to long‐term symbionts.

Carbon conversion and metabolic rate in two marine sponges
, 2010 The carbon metabolism of two marine sponges, Haliclona oculata and Dysidea avara, has been studied using a 13C isotope pulse-chase approach. The sponges were fed 13C-labeled diatoms (Skeletonema costatum) for 8 h and they took up between 75 and 85%.

Barcoding‐Inferred Biodiversity of Shallow‐Water Indo‐Pacific Demosponges
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species ...

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

Seventeen new complete mtDNA sequences reveal extensive mitochondrial genome evolution within the Demospongiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Two major transitions in animal evolution--the origins of multicellularity and bilaterality--correlate with major changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding using ITS2 markers reliably recovered 18 coral genera, with strong overlap but also complementary detections compared to benthic transect surveys. eDNA uniquely identified several cryptic genera, while some common genera were only recovered by traditional surveys, highlighting method‐specific biases.
