Metabolic fingerprinting as an indicator of biodiversity: towards understanding inter-specific relationships among Homoscleromorpha sponges (2011, methodology): “The primers C1-J2165 and C1-Npor2760, were used to amplify the partition I3-M11 portion of the COI mitochondrial gene (Erpenbeck et al. 2002).”
Host specificity of the symbiotic cyanobacterium Oscillatoria spongeliae in marine sponges, Dysidea spp. (2003, background): “These compounds can serve a variety of ecological functions, including predator and competitor deterrence (Pawlik et al. 1995; Thacker et al. 1998; Engel and Pawlik 2000 ) and resistance to malignant microbial infections (Garson 2001).”
Slow mitochondrial DNA sequence evolution in the Anthozoa (Cnidaria) (2002, background): “Low COI sequence diversity among conspecific sponges renders this gene inappropriate for intraspecific application; however, interspecific signals may be informative for higher level phylogenies in demosponges (Erpenbeck et al. 2002).”
