Spongivory by Fishes on Southwestern Atlantic Coral Reefs: No Evidence of Top-Down Control on Sponge Assemblages

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Predator-prey dynamics can affect assemblage structure and ecosystem processes representing a central theory in ecology. In coral reef ecosystems, recent evidences have suggested that sponge assemblages in regions with high diversity, like the Caribbean,

Bioactive Ingredients, Functions, and Development Strategies of Phascolosoma esculenta—An Edible Marine Organism: A Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.
Phascolosoma esculenta is an invertebrate living in the ocean's intertidal zone, belonging to the phylum Sipuncula, and is often cooked as a delicious snack in China's coastal areas. It is often referred to as the “sea ginseng” because of its high nutritional value and the efficacy of enhancing endurance.

Regeneration in White Sea sponge Leucosolenia complicata (Porifera, Calcarea).

open access: yes, 2017
Sponges (phylum Porifera) possess the remarkable regenerative abilities and great diversity of the regeneration mechanisms. The current study dealt with the regener-ation of calcareous sponge Leucosolenia complicata.

Molecular phylogenies challenge the classification of Polymastiidae (Porifera, Demospongiae) based on morphology

open access: yesOrganisms Diversity & Evolution, 2017
Polymastiidae Gray, 1867 is a worldwide distributed sponge family, which has a great significance for understanding of the demosponge deep phylogeny since the former order Hadromerida Topsent, 1894 has been recently split based on the molecular evidence ...

The complete mitogenome of the Eastern Pacific sponge Aplysina gerardogreeni (Demospongiae, Verongida, Aplysinidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We report the first mitochondrial genome of a Verongid sponge, Aplysina gerardogreeni from the Pacific Ocean. This has 19,620 bp and includes 14 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs genes, and 25 tRNAs genes. The gene arrangement was similar to the one found in

Transdifferentiation is a driving force of regeneration in Halisarca dujardini (Demospongiae, Porifera)

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
The ability to regenerate is widespread in the animal kingdom, but the regenerative capacities and mechanisms vary widely. To understand the evolutionary history of the diverse regeneration mechanisms, the regeneration processes must be studied in early ...

Oscarella lobularis (Homoscleromorpha, Porifera) Regeneration: Epithelial Morphogenesis and Metaplasia

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Sponges are known to possess remarkable reconstitutive and regenerative abilities ranging from common wounding or body part regeneration to more impressive re-building of a functional body from dissociated cells.
