This review and data analysis outline how fish biologists should most reliably estimate the
minimal amount of oxygen needed by a fish to support its aerobic metabolic rate (termed …

Despite the wide range of functional roles performed by marine sponges they are still poorly
represented in many research, monitoring and conservation programmes. The aim of this …

Animals living in the Southern Ocean have evolved in a singular environment. It shares
many of its attributes with the high Arctic, namely low, stable temperatures, the pervading …

Marine sponges are able to process a variety of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P),
and silicon (Si) dissolved compounds, in addition to the particulate C, N, and P obtained …

Marine sponges constitute major parts of coral reefs and deep‐water communities. They
often harbour high amounts of phylogenetically and physiologically diverse microbes, which …

The evolution of marine demosponges has led to two basic life strategies: one involving
close associations with large and diverse communities of microorganisms, termed high …

The presence and concentration of oxygen in biological systems has a large impact on the
behavior and viability of many types of cells, including the differentiation of stem cells or the …

Associated microorganisms have been described in numerous marine sponges. Their
metabolic activity, however, has not yet been investigated in situ. We quantified for the first …

We present a quantitative food‐web analysis of the cold‐water coral community, ie, the
assembly of living corals, dead coral branches and sediment beneath, associated with the …

Marine sponges have a long history of farming, starting with bath sponges over 5000 years
ago in the Mediterranean. Many species have since been found appropriate for distinct …
