• The functional roles of marine sponges (2008, background): “The competitive interactions between sponges have recently been reviewed by Wulff (2006) and were also considered an important functional role by Diaz and Rützler (2001) and Rützler (2004), although there is one further functional aspect of inter- and intra-phyletic competitive interactions that…”
• Complex interactions between marine sponges and their symbiotic microbial communities (2011, background): “For instance, marine sponges represent a dominant and important component of the benthic community on soft and hard substrates (Reiswig, 1973; Sara and Vacelet, 1973; Wenner et al., 1983; Diaz and Rutzler, 2001; Wulff, 2006) from tropical to polar regions (Targett and Schmahl, 1984; Alcolado, 1991; ”
• Deep-sea sponge grounds enhance diversity and abundance of epibenthic megafauna in the Northwest Atlantic (2013, background): “The extent to which sponges create habitat may depend on several characteristics: surface features (Klitgaard, 1995), canal volume (Wulff, 2006), and the size of the sponge itself and ability to form dense aggregations (Tissot et al., 2006).”
• Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “Live sponges can provide hard substratum in an open sediment situation, refuge from predation or physical hazard, and an enhanced food supply (Wulff 2006; Taylor et al. 2007).”
• Phase shift to algal dominated communities at mesophotic depths associated with lionfish (Pterois volitans) invasion on a Bahamian coral reef (2011, background): “This decrease might be attributed to competitive overgrowth by macroalgae (Hughes et al. 2003; McClanahan et al. 2003; Nugues and Bak 2006; Wulff 2006; Calderon et al. 2007).”
• Reef sponges facilitate the transfer of coral-derived organic matter to their associated fauna via the sponge loop (2017, background): “…WORDS: Coral mucus · Reef trophic web · Detritus · Sponge loop · Detritivore · Trophic interactions · Interspecific associations Mar Ecol Prog Ser 589: 85–96, 2018 ans, echinoderms (including ophiuroids), and fishes (e.g. Pearse 1950, Wes ztinga & Hoetjes 1981, Duarte & Nalesso 1996, Wulff 2006).”
• The distribution of deep-sea sponge aggregations in the North Atlantic and implications for their effective spatial management (2016, background): “Sponges may enable carbon flow to higher trophic levels through predation (Wulff 2006) and respiration rates are 9 times higher on sponge grounds than surrounding sediments (Cathalot et al., 2015).”
