Abstract The sponge reefs, found only off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, are a unique and alien deep sea ecosystem that is not well understood and is threatened by human activities. Here I developed a genetic barcode to differentiate between the two most common sponges on the reefs,...

This study examines whether injections of the commonly used bacterial-challenge pathogen Listonella anguillarum (formerly Vibrio anguillarum) negatively impact the ability of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum to perform repeat swimming trials. Fish were given intraperitoneal injections of...

Animal search patterns are governed by the various movement strategies undertaken when animals encounter stimuli. The stimuli caused by resource growth and depletion can modify search patterns due to the need to finding resources. In this paper, we investigate the influence of resource depletion...

Measurements of the superfluid density and heat capacity in porous aerogel glasses that are completely filled with liquid helium are presented as examples of critical behavior in the presence of a dilute correlated impurity. Longstanding doubts about the existence of critical behavior in...

The SuperPose web server rapidly and robustly calculates both pairwise and multiple protein structure superpositions using a modified quaternion eigenvalue approach. SuperPose generates sequence alignments, structure alignments,PDB(Protein Data Bank) coordinates andRMSDstatistics, as well as...

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...

The genomes of non-bilaterian metazoans are key to understanding the molecular basis of early animal evolution. However, a full comprehension of how animal-specific traits such as nervous systems arose is hindered by the scarcity and fragmented nature of genomes from key taxa, such as Porifera....

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...
