Ecology of Antarctic Marine Sponges: An Overview [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2005 Sponges are important components of marine benthic communities of Antarctica. Numbers of species are high, within the lower range for tropical latitudes, similar to those in the Arctic, and comparable or higher than those of temperate marine environments.

From friends to foes: fungi could be emerging marine sponge pathogens under global change scenarios
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Global change, experienced in the form of ocean warming and pollution by man-made goods and xenobiotics, is rapidly affecting reef ecosystems and could have devastating consequences for marine ecology. Due to their critical role in regulating marine food

Microbial Diversity of Marine Sponges [PDF]
, 2003 The recent application of molecular microbial ecology tools to sponge-microbe associations has revealed a glimpse into the biodiversity of these microbial communities, that is considered just 'the tip of the iceberg'. This chapter provides an overview over these new findings with regard to identity, diversity and distribution patterns of sponge ...

Marine sponges in the once and future ocean [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2022 Animals originated under hypoxia-low-oxygen conditions that are currently expanding throughout the global ocean. How marine sponges respond to hypoxia is both relevant to reconstructing early animal evolution and for forecasting the fate of modern marine ecosystems.

Phylogenetically and spatially close marine sponges harbour divergent bacterial communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent studies have unravelled the diversity of sponge-associated bacteria that may play essential roles in sponge health and metabolism. Nevertheless, our understanding of this microbiota remains limited to a few host species found in restricted ...
