• A test of the sponge-loop hypothesis for emergent Caribbean reef sponges (2018, methodology): “…40% of this carbon is subsequently released as particulate organic carbon (POC) in the form of shed cellular detritus that is then assimilated by benthic detritivores and suspension feeders and subsequently passed to higher trophic levels via predation (de Goeij et al. 2013, Rix et al. 2016, 2017).”
• Form and function of tropical macroalgal reefs in the Anthropocene (2019, background): “For instance, macroalgae exudates (dissolved organic carbon) are rapidly taken up by sponges and their associated bacteria, which is then passed to corals and higher trophic levels via the sponge‐detritus loop (Mumby & Steneck, 2018; Rix et al., 2017).”
