Acarnidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of six new species

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2013
The family Acarnidae is characterized by sponges with ectosomal diactinal spicules and choanosomal monactinal spicules. Microscleres include palmate isochelae, toxas and echinating acanthostyles.

The role of cell replacement in benthic–pelagic coupling by suspension feeders [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,

Gigantism in unique biogenic magnetite at the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We report the discovery of exceptionally large biogenic magnetite crystals in clay-rich sediments spanning the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in a borehole at Ancora, New Jersey. Aside from previously-described abundant bacterial magnetofossils,

Transdifferentiation and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition during regeneration in Demospongiae (Porifera).

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Host population genetics and biogeography structure the microbiome of the sponge Cliona delitrix

open access: yesEcology 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 ...
