Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2019 Origin and early evolution of regeneration mechanisms remain among the most pressing questions in animal regeneration biology. Porifera have exceptional regenerative capacities and, as early Metazoan lineage, are a promising model for studying ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 The cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota occurs on tropical reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific. The species encrusts live coral, and other benthos, and is considered a pest species that can threaten the health and productivity of locally native benthic ...

Diverse cell junctions with unique molecular composition in tissues of a sponge (Porifera)
EvoDevo, 2019 The integrity and organization of animal tissues depend upon specialized protein complexes that mediate adhesion between cells with each other (cadherin-based adherens junctions), and with the extracellular matrix (integrin-based focal adhesions ...

Lithistid sponges from submarine caves in the Mediterranean: taxonomy and affinities
Scientia Marina, 2011 Several lithistid sponges are described from Mediterranean caves occurring in the northwestern and Adriatic basins. In the Corallistidae, Neoschrammeniella bowerbanki and Neophrissospongia nolitangere are recorded for the first time from the ...

Early animal evolution: a morphologist's view [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Two hypotheses for the early radiation of the metazoans are vividly discussed in recent phylogenomic studies, the ‘Porifera-first’ hypothesis, which places the poriferans as the sister group of all other metazoans, and the ‘Ctenophora-first’ hypothesis ...

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.

Host population genetics and biogeography structure the microbiome of the sponge Cliona delitrix
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Sponges occur across diverse marine biomes and host internal microbial communities that can provide critical ecological functions. While strong patterns of host specificity have been observed consistently in sponge microbiomes, the precise ecological ...
