Freshwater sponge hosts and their green algae symbionts: a tractable model to understand intracellular symbiosis
Freshwater sponge hosts and their green algae symbionts: a tractable model to understand intracellular symbiosis

Hill, April L, Camilli, Sara, Dwaah, Henry, Kornegay, Benjamin, Lay, Christine A, Hill, Malcolm S
In many freshwater habitats, green algae form intracellular symbioses with a variety of heterotrophic host taxa including several species of freshwater sponge. These sponges perform important ecological roles in their habitats, and the poriferan:green algae partnerships offers unique...

Geodia barretti - Energy budget data sheet for Limnology and Oceanography
2017-05-26
Geodia barretti is a massive nearly spherical sponge that forms dense assemblages on the continental shelf of the North Altantic and the Norwegian Sea. We studied the metabolism of individual sponges collected using a remotely operated vehicle and maintained in large tanks with high volumes of...

Abstract: Sponges (Porifera) are abundant in most marine and freshwater ecosystems and as suspension feeders they play a crucial role in filtering the water column. Their active pumping enables them to filter up to 900 times their body volume of water per hour, recycling nutrients and coupling a...

SUMMARY Several inorganic compounds of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are key to ocean ecology because, among other effects, they sustain primary production. After discovering in the 1980s that sponges can be both source and sink of such nutrients, much has been learned, including that fluxes...

Supplementary Files for: Sponge behaviour and the chemical basis of responses: a post-genomic view
Download2019-05-25
Sponges perceive and respond to a range of stimuli. How they do this is still difficult to pin down despite now having transcriptomes and genomes of an array of species. Here we evaluate the current understanding of sponge behaviour and present new observations on sponge activity in situ. We also...

Sycon coactum - transcriptome
2014-02-27
Sponges (Porifera) are among the earliest evolving metazoans. Their filter-feeding body plan based on choanocyte chambers organized into a complex aquiferous system is so unique among metazoans that it either reflects an early divergence from other animals prior to the evolution of features such...
