• Nutrient Fluxes and Ecological Functions of Coral Reef Sponges in a Changing Ocean (2017, background): “Few more studies have shown carbon transfer between host and phototrophicassociated microbes (Wilkinson 1983; Erwin and Thacker 2008; Weisz et al.”
• A Vicious Circle? Altered Carbon and Nutrient Cycling May Explain the Low Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs (2016, background): “In contrast, sponge species in the Caribbean are primarily heterotrophic, although some do get a portion of their carbon from photosynthetic symbionts (Erwin and Thacker 2008).”
• Complex interactions between marine sponges and their symbiotic microbial communities (2011, methodology): “sponges used in this investigation hosts at least one unique clade of these symbionts (Erwin and Thacker 2008b), this is an intriguing possibility.”
