• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “Interestingly, some mangrove sponges appear to use chemical cues to foster the growth of other sponge species on their surfaces, with the overgrowing species providing an anti-predatory chemical defence to the undefended species under them (Engel and Pawlik, 2000, 2005; Wilcox et al., 2002).”
• Effects of Caribbean Sponge Extracts on Bacterial Attachment (2003, background): “…et al. 1996, Assmann et al. 2000, Kubanek et al. 2000), as allelopathic agents against competing organisms (Sullivan et al. 1983, Porter & Targett 1988, Engel & Pawlik 2000), and as antifoulants against settling larvae (Amade & Chevolot 1982, Thompson et al. 1985, Davis et al. 1989, Pawlik 1993).”
• Selective feeding in the hawksbill turtle, an important predator in coral reef ecosystems (2002, background): “Also, there is evidence of competition for space between sponges and other benthic invertebrates (including other sponge species) through allelopathic interaction (Thacker et al. 1998, Engel & Pawlik 2000).”
• Comparison of anti-predatory defenses of Red Sea and Caribbean sponges. II. Physical defense (2003, unknown): “Among the suggested roles, sponge secondary metabolites have been implicated in sponge-sponge allelopathic interactions (Engel & Pawlik 2000), settlement inhibition of fouling larvae (Hirota et al. 1998), and antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial defenses (Rinehart et al. 1981).”
• The Chemical Ecology of Sponges on Caribbean Reefs: Natural Products Shape Natural Systems (2011, methodology): “Of the extracts tested, 30% exhibited an allelopathic effect, including those from sponge species in the genera Amphimedon and Aplysina, and the purified triterpene glycosides were identified as the allelopathic agent for Ectyoplasia ferox (Engel and Pawlik 2000, Kubanek et al. 2002).”
