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.

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.

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).

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.
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
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.

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.

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)
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.
