The many microbial communities around us form interactive and dynamic ecosystems called
microbiomes. Though concealed from the naked eye, microbiomes govern and influence …

The holobiont concept (ie, multiple living beings in close symbiosis with one another and
functioning as a unit) is revolutionizing our understanding of biology, especially in marine …

In the recent years, the holobiont concept has emerged as a theoretical and experimental
framework to study the interactions between hosts and their associated microbial …

Sponges underpin the productivity of coral reefs, yet few of their microbial symbionts have
been functionally characterised. Here we present an analysis of~ 1200 metagenome …

Marine sponges often host diverse and species-specific communities of microorganisms that
are critical for host health. Previous functional genomic investigations of the sponge …

Seaweeds account for nearly 30% of global aquaculture production by volume, and their
cultivation provides important opportunities for employment and wealth generation …

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 …

The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new
discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of …

Abstract Background The Arctic and Antarctic are the two most geographically distant
bioregions on earth. Recent sampling efforts and following metagenomics have shed light …

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