Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

, 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.

The European Zoological Journal, 2017 Two shallow hydrothermal vents were investigated by SCUBA diving to evaluate their influence on the structure and diversity of a sponge community living close to the vent outflow, in the equatorial Pacific Ocean just off the coast of North Sulawesi ...

Diversity and distribution of Porifera Phylum in the coral reefs of South Buru District, Buru Island, Maluku [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesBuru Island is part of the Wallacea region, known for its high marine biodiversity and relatively unexplored coral reef ecosystems, making it a valuable area for egological research. This study inverstigates the community structure of the Porifera phylum

Small, EarlyView.Mimicking natural tubular structures, metal‐free conjugated hollow fibers are synthesized via one‐pot Chichibabin condensation. Pyridinic networks spontaneously self‐assemble into submicron hollow fibers and entangle into spongy monoliths—without templates, metals, or post‐processing.

Exploring depth‐related patterns of sponge diversity and abundance in marginal reefs
Ecology and EvolutionMarine sponges play a vital role in the reef's benthic community; however, understanding how their diversity and abundance vary with depth is a major challenge, especially on marginal reefs in areas deeper than 30 m.

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions are influenced by both abiotic and biotic factors. While abiotic drivers, particularly temperature, have received considerable attention in recent years due to global climate change, the role of biotic factors remains comparatively underexplored.
