Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea
Global 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).

Journal 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

Marine 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.

Lethaia, 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.

Determination of the Halogenated Skeleton Constituents of the Marine Demosponge Ianthella basta
Marine Drugs, 2017 Demosponges of the order Verongida such as Ianthella basta exhibit skeletons containing spongin, a collagenous protein, and chitin. Moreover, Verongida sponges are well known to produce bioactive brominated tyrosine derivatives.

The European Zoological Journal, 2022 Complex biological systems often provide ready solutions for contemporary engineering. One such organism might be sponges, primitive, tissueless animals whose evolution over 600 million years has allowed them to become highly specialized.

Collagen IV and basement membrane at the evolutionary dawn of metazoan tissues
eLife, 2017 The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary role of the ...

Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 431-446, September 2026.This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.
