Differences in the Structural Components Influence the Pumping Capacity of Marine Sponges

Dahihande, A.S.; Thakur, N.L. (Frontiers Media SA, 2021)

Marine sponges are important sessile, benthic filter feeders with a body plan designed to pump water efficiently. The sponge body plan generally consists of mineral spicules, gelatinous mesohyl, and the pores and canals ...
Differential growth forms of the sponge Biemna fortis govern the abundance of its associated brittle star Ophiactis modesta

Dahihande, A.S.; Thakur, N.L. (Elsevier, 2017)

Marine intertidal regions are physically stressful habitats. In such an environment, facilitator species and positive interactions mitigate unfavorable conditions to the benefit of less tolerant organisms. In sponge-brittle ...
Temperature- and size-associated differences in the skeletal structures and osculum cross-sectional area influence the pumping rate of contractile sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa

Dahihande, A.S.; Thakur, N.L. (2019)

Sponges alter the proportion of structural and morphological components such as spicule skeleton and number of oscula in response to environment, development and growth. Such mechanisms indicate morphological and physiological ...
