Arinosaster patriciae (Porifera, Demospongiae): new genus and species and the second record of a cave freshwater sponge from Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Biology and Conservation, 2021
Arinosaster patriciae gen. nov. et sp. nov. is the second continental sponge registered for a subterranean environment (cave habitat) in Brazil and the Neotropical Region. The sponges were recorded and collected in a 5m depth technical dive in a sinkhole

The role and molecular mechanism of metabolic reprogramming of colorectal cancer by UBR5 through PYK2 regulation of OXPHOS expression study

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most malignant tumor in the world, but the key mechanisms of CRC progression have not been confirmed. UBR5 and PYK2 expression levels were detected by RT‐qPCR. The levels of UBR5, PYK2, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes were detected by western blot analysis.

Optimized DNA isolation from marine sponges for natural sampler DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 438-461, May 2023., 2023
Marine sponges have recently been recognized as natural samplers of environmental DNA (eDNA) due to their effective water filtration and their ubiquitous, sessile, and regenerative nature. We used a phased approach to investigate the influence of DNA isolation procedures on the biodiversity information recovered from sponges.

Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 19, Page 5708-5725, October 2022., 2022
During the 2015‐2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional marine heatwaves conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m depth, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla).

Collagenic architecture and morphotraits in a marine basal metazoan as a model for bioinspired applied research

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 5, Page 585-604, May 2022., 2022
A prototype of connective system, almost exclusively based on collagenic networks, is zoomed in the model sponge Ircinia retidermata (Porifera: Keratosa). We focused on topographic distribution, spatial layout, microtraits, and/or morphogenesis of these collagenic structures. Ectosome and outer endosome are the active fibrogenetic areas where exogenous

Hydrocolloid-Based Multiwavelength Stretchable QD-OLED Patch for Simultaneous Neonatal Jaundice and Dermatitis Treatment with Biosignal Monitoring. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Healthc Mater
Comparison of therapeutic and diagnostic applications of a surface‐emitting light source with multiwavelength emission characteristics. Abstract Conventional light‐emitting‐diode‐based light sources suffer from rigidity, localized heating, and poor adaptability to skin deformation, limiting their use in skin‐attached medical devices.

Strategic foraging: Understanding hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) prey item energy values and distribution within a marine protected area

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 43, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Anthropogenic disturbances affect the health of coral reefs worldwide and may also impact hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) foraging areas, potentially decreasing sponge numbers, while increasing macroalgae. Few studies have been conducted to understand energy content of hawksbill prey.

Late Anisian microbe‐metazoan build‐ups in the Germanic Basin: aftermath of the Permian–Triassic crisis

open access: yesLethaia, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 823-844, December 2021., 2021
The so‐called Permian–Triassic mass extinction was followed by a prolonged period of ecological recovery that lasted until the Middle Triassic. Triassic stromatolites from the Germanic Basin seem to be an important part of the puzzle but have barely been investigated so far.

Sponges of the family Esperiopsidae (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida) from Northwest Africa, with the descriptions of four new species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sponges belonging to the genera Amphilectus Vosmaer, Esperiopsis Carter and Ulosa de Laubenfels of the family Esperiopsidae were collected during 1986 and 1988 expeditions of the Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis (at that time the National ...

The ‘classic stromatolite’ Cryptozoön is a keratose sponge‐microbial consortium

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 189-198, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Animal evolution transformed microbial mat development. Canonically inferred negative effects include grazing, disturbance and competition for space. In contrast, ancient examples of cooperation between microbial mats and invertebrates have rarely been reported.
