Viral ecogenomics across the Porifera [PDF]
Microbiome, 2020 Viruses directly affect the most important biological processes in the ocean via their regulation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic populations. Marine sponges form stable symbiotic partnerships with a wide diversity of microorganisms and this high symbiont ...

Alternative neural systems: What is a neuron? (Ctenophores, sponges and placozoans)
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 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?

Hg Levels in Marine Porifera of Montecristo and Giglio Islands (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy)
Applied Sciences, 2020 Porifera are filter-feeding organisms known to bioaccumulate different contaminants in their tissues. The presence of mercury (Hg) has been reported in different Mediterranean species, mainly collected in the southern coast of France.

The role of cell replacement in benthic–pelagic coupling by suspension feeders [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 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 ...
