• Diet of worms emended: an update of polychaete feeding guilds. (2015, background): “…from the classic pelagic microbial loop, the total uptake rate of dissolved organic matter on reefs by sponges exceeds by one to two orders of magnitude the uptake rate by planktonic bacteria, and sponges dominate the delivery of particulate organic matter to the reef (de Goeij et al. 2013).”
• Sponge Grounds as Key Marine Habitats: A Synthetic Review of Types, Structure, Functional Roles, and Conservation Concerns (2016, background): “…that is unavailable to other invertebrates and generate, in exchange, an outflow of particulate organic matter (POM) resulting from metabolic waste and cellular renewal that feeds other invertebrates at basal and intermediate levels of the reef trophic chain (de Goeij et al. 2013; Maldonado 2015).”
