Porifera

Abstract The sponges are multicellular animals with relatively simple body organization and a small number of cell types. They function by pumping water through the body and filtering out food particles. Water enters the body through pores formed by specialized cells known as porocytes and exits through a large opening known as the ...

Three-dimensionally preserved soft tissues and calcareous hexactins in a Silurian sponge: implications for early sponge evolution [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
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 ...

Stability of the Microbiome of the Sponge Mycale (Oxymycale) acerata in the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The sponge microbiome, especially in Low Microbial Abundance (LMA) species, is expected to be influenced by the local environment; however, contrasting results exist with evidence showing that host specificity is also important, hence suggesting that the
