• Chitin and collagen as universal and alternative templates in biomineralization (2010, background): “Very recently, silica–chitin–aragonite composite in skeletons of several species of marine sponges was found for the first time (Ehrlich et al. 2010b).”
• Poriferan Chitin as a Versatile Template for Extreme Biomimetics (2015, unknown): “in the adhesion of sponges to rocky substrate [68].”
