Viral ecogenomics across the Porifera
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 ...

Foundation Species Abundance Influences Food Web Topology on Glass Sponge Reefs
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Foundation species support communities across a wide range of ecosystems. Non-trophic interactions are considered the primary way foundation species influence communities, with their trophic interactions having little impact on community structure.
