• Redwood of the reef: growth and age of the giant barrel sponge Xestospongia muta in the Florida Keys (2008, background): “Additionally, coral reef sponges serve as habitat for a large number of other invertebrate taxa (e.g., Duffy 1992; Henkel and Pawlik 2005 ) and host a diverse array of microbes that may take part in primary production or nitrification (Ru ¨tzler 1985; Diaz and Ward 1997).”
• Richness and distribution of sponge megabenthos in continental margin canyons off southeastern Australia (2007, background): “…in the deep sea (Beaulieu 2001); (4) sponges host a great diversity of other invertebrates that are either facultative or obligate endo- and epibionts (Henkel & Pawlik 2005); (5) sponges act as ecosystem engineers profoundly modifying the surrounding seafloor via current baffling, enhancement…”
• Deep-sea sponge grounds enhance diversity and abundance of epibenthic megafauna in the Northwest Atlantic (2013, background): “These biogenic habitats can be utilized by other biota as refuge from predators, as spawning and nursery grounds, and as attachment substrate for sessile invertebrates (Bett and Rice, 1992; Krautter et al., 2001; Fosså et al., 2002; Reed, 2002; Henkel and Pawlik, 2005).”
• A test of the sponge-loop hypothesis for emergent Caribbean reef sponges (2018, background): “Some sponge species are also known to harbor invertebrate symbionts such as shrimps and brittle stars (e.g. Henkel & Pawlik 2005), and it is unknown whether endosymbiotic macrofauna consume sponge-produced detritus in excurrent canals before it can be released from the sponge.”
