mBio, 2016 ABSTRACT A paradigm shift has recently transformed the field of biological science; molecular advances have revealed how fundamentally important microorganisms are to many aspects of a host’s phenotype and evolution. In the process, an era of “holobiont” research has emerged to investigate the intricate network of interactions between a host ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 Competition law is often perceived as a stable discipline. In fact, one is often reminded that competition law must be based on economic considerations and reject external social, or political objectives. This paper argues that this appealing view – which embodies a sense of purity – is merely an illusion.

The sponge microbiome project [PDF]
GigaScience, 2017 Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse, phylogenetically deep-branching clade known for forming intimate partnerships with complex communities of microorganisms. To date, 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies have largely utilised different extraction and amplification methodologies to target the microbial communities of a limited number of sponge ...

Hydrodynamics of sponge pumps and evolution of the sponge body plan
eLife, 2020 Sponges are suspension feeders that filter vast amounts of water. Pumping is carried out by flagellated chambers that are connected to an inhalant and exhalant canal system. In ‘leucon’ sponges with relatively high-pressure resistance due to a complex and narrow canal system, pumping and filtering are only possible owing to the presence of a gasket ...

Affinities of the Sponges [PDF]
Nature, 1871 I HAVE just read with much interest the paper in NATURE by Mr. W. Saville Kent, criticising my friend Carter's article in the “Annals of Natural History” for this month, in which I fully concur. How Mr. Carter can have fallen into such an error, for such I must call it.

Marine Sponges as Pharmacy [PDF]
Marine Biotechnology, 2005 Marine sponges have been considered as a gold mine during the past 50 years, with respect to the diversity of their secondary metabolites. The biological effects of new metabolites from sponges have been reported in hundreds of scientific papers, and they are reviewed here.
