Global patterns in symbiont selection and transmission strategies in sponges

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Sponges host dense and diverse communities of microbes (known as the microbiome) beneficial for the host nutrition and defense. Symbionts in turn receive shelter and metabolites from the sponge host, making their relationship beneficial for both partners.
