Porifera Lectins: Diversity, Physiological Roles and Biotechnological Potential
An overview on the diversity of 39 lectins from the phylum Porifera is presented, including 38 lectins, which were identified from the class of demosponges, and one lectin from the class of hexactinellida.

The oldest birotule-bearing freshwater sponges from the Upper Cretaceous–lower Paleocene Deccan volcanic-associated sediments of India [PDF]
A new fossil occurrence of freshwater sponges (Porifera: Demospongiae) is reported from the Deccan volcanic associated Naskal intertrappean locality, deposited in an interval of

Three-dimensionally preserved soft tissues and calcareous hexactins in a Silurian sponge: implications for early sponge evolution [PDF]
Sponges (Porifera), as one of the earliest-branching animal phyla, are crucial for understanding early metazoan phylogeny. Recent studies of Lower Palaeozoic sponges have revealed a variety of character states and combinations unknown in extant taxa ...

Alternative neural systems: What is a neuron? (Ctenophores, sponges and placozoans)
How to make a neuron, a synapse, and a neural circuit? Is there only one ‘design’ for a neural architecture with a universally shared genomic blueprint across species?

The role of cell replacement in benthic–pelagic coupling by suspension feeders [PDF]
Benthic–pelagic coupling through suspension feeders and their detrital pathways is integral to carbon transport in oceans. In food-poor ecosystems however, a novel mechanism of carbon recycling has been proposed that involves direct uptake of dissolved ...
