• The functional roles of marine sponges (2008, background): “Interestingly, recent research by López-Victoria et al. (2006) has identified the importance of angle of engagement between excavating sponges and competitors as an important determinant in the successful lateral advancement of sponges.”
• Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “Sponges in the family Clionaidae (Porifera, Hadromerida) can spread laterally at rates of 19 cm year−1 (Rutzler 2002, López-Victoria et al. 2006).”
• Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem: Towards a Broader Perspective on Ocean Acidification Research Part 2 A special issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (2017, background): “Occasionally, the sponges even kill their hosts (e.g. McKenna, 1997; Schönberg and Wilkinson, 2001; Chaves-Fonnegra et al., 2005; L opez-Victoria et al., 2006).”
• Phase-shift in coral reef communities in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), USA (2008, background): “Sponge proliferation could aVect corals through several mechanisms: allelopathy (Engel and Pawlik 2005; Pawlik et al. 2007), physical smothering and cellular digestion (Hill 1998) as well as direct space competition ( Lopez-Victoria et al. 2006 ).”
• The role of sponge competition on coral reef alternative steady states (2011, unknown): “In the particular case of Cliona, coral-sponge competition for space is mediated by physical contact (ChavesFonnegraandZea, 2007; López-Victoria et al., 2006)andnotdirectly by the release of allelochemical compounds into thewater (ChavesFonnegra et al.”
• Alternative states on coral reefs: beyond coral–macroalgal phase shifts (2009, background): “Similarly, sponges not only have the ability to colonize free substrate quickly, but are capable of overgrowing living coral through physical (Lopez-Victoria et al. 2006) and chemical mechanisms (Pawlik et al. 2007).”
