Handbook of Marine Model Organisms in Experimental Biology, 2015 Abstract Poriphera sponges are benthic animals that filter vast volumes of water to extract bacteria and other pico-plankton. While sponges have tissues and some regionalization of the body is present, complex tissues such as conventional muscle and nerves are absent, which in part explains their slow movements.

Are Sponges Good Natural Sentinels for Monitoring Fish Diversity in Antarctic Coastal Waters? [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study demonstrates that eDNA metabarcoding using both water and sponge samples is an effective tool for monitoring fish biodiversity along the Western Antarctic Peninsula. The results revealed 14 endemic Antarctic fish species and one marine mammal, with water samples often offering a more comprehensive view than sponges.

PeerJ, 2021 Microplastics (MP) are now considered ubiquitous across global aquatic environments. The ingestion of MP by fish and other marine vertebrates is well studied, but the ingestion of MP by marine invertebrates is not.

A Review on Genus Halichondria (Demospongiae, Porifera)
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Demosponges of the genus Halichondria Fleming (1828) are common in coastal marine ecosystems worldwide and have been well-studied over the last decades.

Molecular biology and evolution, 2020 All animals are capable of undergoing gametogenesis. The ability of forming haploid cells from diploid cells through meiosis and recombination appeared early in eukaryotes, whereas further gamete differentiation is mostly a metazoan signature ...

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.
