Mineral skeletogenesis in sponges (2006, background): “For instance, calcified sponges have been reported to be the dominant reef-building organisms since the beginning of the Cambrian (Reitner and Wörheide 2002), until symbiosis with zooxanthellae produced a dramatic increase in calcification rates of hermatipic corals and thus they replaced sponges as”
An Anaerobic World in Sponges (2005, background): “Sponges (Porifera) represent the very base of metazoan evolution, with their fossil record dating back to the Precambrian era (Li et al. 1998; Reitner and Wörheide 2002).”
