The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial
communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now …

The sponge-associated microbial community contributes to the overall health and adaptive
capacity of the sponge holobiont. This community is regulated by the environment and the …

Sponges are functionally important components of global benthic environments and have
been proposed as potential winners under future climate scenarios. We review the evidence …

In the last decades, the marine environment was discovered as a huge reservoir of novel
bioactive compounds, useful for medicinal treatments improving human health and well …

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, forms reefs that provide critical services to the
surrounding ecosystem. These reefs are at risk from climate change, in part because altered …

Molecular studies of animal regeneration typically focus on conserved genes and signaling
pathways that underlie morphogenesis. To date, a holistic analysis of gene expression …

Sponges hold a key role in benthic environments, and specifically in the Mediterranean Sea.
Past events of mass mortality in sponge communities have been linked to extended periods …

Sponges are often important components of coastal lagoons, however their responses to
anthropogenic stressors remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the responses of three …

Anthropogenic inputs of petroleum hydrocarbons into the marine environment can have long
lasting impacts on benthic communities. Sponges form an abundant and diverse component …
