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.
