Global patterns in symbiont selection and transmission strategies in sponges
Sponges host dense and diverse communities of microbes (known as the microbiome)
beneficial for the host nutrition and defense. Symbionts in turn receive shelter and …

Giant sponge grounds of Central Arctic seamounts are associated with extinct seep life
Abstract The Central Arctic Ocean is one of the most oligotrophic oceans on Earth because
of its sea-ice cover and short productive season. Nonetheless, across the peaks of extinct …

What happens between depositional events, stays between depositional events: the significance of organic mat surfaces in the capture of Ediacara communities and …
In the absence of complex, bioturbating organisms, the seafloor during the Precambrian was
covered in widespread organic matgrounds. The greatest diversity and complexity of organic …

Habitat types and megabenthos composition from three sponge-dominated high-Arctic seamounts
Seamounts are isolated underwater mountains stretching> 1000 m above the seafloor. They
are identified as biodiversity hotspots of marine life, and host benthic assemblages that may …

Five hundred million years to mobility: directed locomotion and its ecological function in a turtle barnacle
Movement is a fundamental characteristic of life, yet some invertebrate taxa, such as
barnacles, permanently affix to a substratum as adults. Adult barnacles became 'sessile'over …
