Divergence times in demosponges (Porifera): first insights from new mitogenomes and the inclusion of fossils in a birth-death clock model

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2017
BackgroundApproximately 80% of all described extant sponge species belong to the class Demospongiae. Yet, despite their diversity and importance, accurate divergence times are still unknown for most demosponge clades.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Evolution of Haplosyllis (Syllidae, Annelida) With Emphasis on the Indo‐Pacific Region and the djiboutiensis Species Complex

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 684-707, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Haplosyllis is a worldwide distributed genus of marine annelids, commonly associated with other invertebrates. Its characteristic simple bidentate chaetae have often led to mistakes in estimating the real diversity of the genus. Currently, Haplosyllis includes 38 species, nearly half of which inhabit the Indo‐West Pacific (IPW).

Food web trophic control modulates tropical Atlantic reef ecosystems response to marine heat wave intensity and duration

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 8, Page 1492-1506, August 2025.
In this study we showed that trophic control modulates the effects of marine heatwaves (MHWs) on species biomass dynamics in a tropical and pristine Atlantic reef ecosystem. Our study provides insights into how the strength of predator–prey interactions may generate different outcomes in face of intensified and prolonged MHWs. Abstract Marine heatwaves

Biochemical studies of the carotenoids in porifera distribution of the carotenoids in porifera.

open access: yesNIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1978
The carotenoids from eight species of sea sponge were isolated and identified. The main carotenoid of each sponge was determined: zeaxanthin in Spirastrella insignis and Callyspongia confoederata, astaxanthin in Haliclona permollis, tedanin in Clathria frondifera and Tedania digitata, trikentriorhodin in Agelas mauritiana, renieratene in Tetya ...

Cyanophage Infections in a Sponge Intracellular Cyanobacterial Symbiont

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2025.
Intracellular cyanobacterial symbionts of sponges are shown to be susceptible to cyanophages, challenging assumptions about their isolation from viral exposure. The study reveals novel phage–host interactions and suggests conserved infection strategies across symbionts of marine and terrestrial animals.

Population Dynamics of Ervilia castanea (Montagu, 1803) Hints at Evolutionary Processes Shaping North‐East Atlantic Insular Sandy Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Shallow‐water sandy habitats of volcanic oceanic islands are among the most geologically and ecologically dynamic marine habitats on Earth. We investigate the population genetic patterns of Ervilia castanea, an infaunal marine bivalve with a planktotrophic larvae inhabiting Macaronesian shallow‐water sandy habitats.

Physiology and Evolution of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in Early Diverging Animal Phyla: Cnidaria, Placozoa, Porifera and Ctenophora

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
Voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channels serve dual roles in the cell, where they can both depolarize the membrane potential for electrical excitability, and activate transient cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals.

Global Diversity of Sponges (Porifera)

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
With the completion of a single unified classification, the Systema Porifera (SP) and subsequent development of an online species database, the World Porifera Database (WPD), we are now equipped to provide a first comprehensive picture of the global biodiversity of the Porifera.
