Sponges have always been filter feeders, in contrast to all the other filter-feeding invertebrate groups for which this feeding mode is a secondary adaptation. This study calls attention to this aspect, which explains why sponges are tolerant to hypoxia,...

Like many estuaries worldwide, the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), has seen a decline in resources and overall water quality due to human activities. One method to help restore water quality and benthic habitats is to construct and deploy oyster restoration m...

Sponges are one of the earliest-evolved and simplest groups of animals, but they share basic characteristics with more advanced and later-evolved filter-feeding invertebrates, such as mussels. Sponges are abundant in many coastal regions where they filte...

Demosponges of the genus Halichondria Fleming (1828) are common in coastal marine ecosystems worldwide and have been well-studied over the last decades. As ecologically important filter feeders, Halichondria species represent potentially suitable model o...

Filter-feeding invertebrates are found in almost all of the animal classes that are represented in the sea, where they are the necessary links between suspended food particles (phytoplankton and free-living bacteria) and the higher trophic levels in the ...

Eutrophication and algal blooms have sparked worldwide concern because of their widespread effects on water-dependent species. Harmful algal blooms can cause fatal effects to lesser flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor), obligatory filter feeders and vital bio...

We examined fossil Cladocera (Crustacea) communities and their functional assemblages in a ~60-year sediment record from Lake Maggiore, northern Italy. Our main objective was to document the response of aquatic community functioning to environmental stre...
