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 …

Few topics in geobiology have been as extensively debated as the role of Earth's
oxygenation in controlling when and why animals emerged and diversified. All currently …

Coral reefs across the world have been seriously degraded and have a bleak future in
response to predicted global warming and ocean acidification (OA). However, this is not the …

Abstract Changes in sediment input to marine systems can influence benthic environments
in many ways. Sponges are important components of benthic ecosystems world-wide and as …

Animals have a carefully orchestrated relationship with oxygen. When exposed to low
environmental oxygen concentrations, and during periods of increased energy expenditure …

The influence of sedimentation, depth and substratum angle on sponge assemblages in the
Wakatobi region, south-eastern Sulawesi, Indonesia was considered. Sponge assemblages …

Marine caves are widely acknowledged for their unique biodiversity and constitute a typical
feature of the Mediterranean coastline. Herein an attempt was made to evaluate the …

Sponges are a major component of benthic ecosystems across the world and fulfil a number
of important functional roles. However, despite their importance, there have been few …

To the non‐specialist, problems are often associated with the quantification of sponge
species diversity, as colour, shape and size can be highly variable within a single species …

Abstract The latest Eifelian–Frasnian strata of the Mackenzie Valley, NW Canada, provide
an excellent archive of paleoceanographic signals imprinted in oxic and anoxic facies …
