Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The sponge microbiome, especially in Low Microbial Abundance (LMA) species, is expected to be influenced by the local environment; however, contrasting results exist with evidence showing that host specificity is also important, hence suggesting that the

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1561-1577, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Microorganisms, 2020 Marine sponges are excellent examples of invertebrate–microbe symbioses. In this holobiont, the partnership has elegantly evolved by either transmitting key microbial associates through the host germline and/or capturing microorganisms from the ...

An Integrative Model of Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in a Common Deep-Sea Sponge (Geodia barretti)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Deep-sea sponges and their microbial symbionts transform various forms of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) via several metabolic pathways, which, for a large part, are poorly quantified.

Towards Key Principles of Host‐Associated Microbiome Assembly
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.Symbiotic relationships between microbes and hosts frequently involve the assembly of complex microbial communities (i.e., the microbiome). Microbiome composition and function influence host life‐history traits, ecological trajectories of partners, and are often critical for host health.

Effects of Extreme Rainfall on a Dominant Seaweed Are Mitigated by Its Microbiota
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Extreme weather events, such as intense rainfall, can severely reduce the reproductive output and photosynthetic performance of habitat‐forming seaweeds like Hormosira banksii. This study shows that disrupting the seaweed's microbiota after such events further hinders recovery, highlighting the crucial role of host‐associated microbes in maintaining ...

Plume Layer Influences the Amazon Reef Sponge Microbiome Primary Producers
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Symbiont relationships between corals and photosynthetic microorganisms sustain coral reef existence. However, the Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) stays under a plume layer that attenuates the entry of light, and instead of corals, sponges are the major ...
