Glass sponges arrest pumping in response to sediment: implications for the physiology of the hexactinellid conduction system (2008, background): “This concentration was only slightly higher than the range of suspended particulate concentrations found during the summer months in the fjords when the specimens were collected (7 mg l¡1) (Yahel et al. 2007).”
The distribution of deep-sea sponge aggregations in the North Atlantic and implications for their effective spatial management (2016, background): “…size to about 6 µm in diameter (Reiswig 1975; Wolfrath and Barthel 1989) and recent studies of two deep water species of hexactinellid sponges has indicated that both species rely largely on free-living, non-photosynthetic bacteria and nano-planktonic protists for nutrition (Yahel et al., 2007).”
Benthic grazing and carbon sequestration by deep‐water glass sponge reefs (2015, methodology): “However, the deep habitat of the sponge reefs, well below the photic zone, is typically poor in planktonic cells, and bacteria (105 mL21) are the primary food of the sponges (Yahel et al. 2007).”
Sponges as a source of dissolved inorganic nitrogen: Nitrification mediated by temperate sponges (2007, background): “The main excretion compound in the sponges from the Northwest Pacific was ammonium, and nitrification mediated by sponges was not found (Yahel et al. 2007).”
Major bulk dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal by encrusting coral reef cavity sponges (2008, background): “Since other studies do not report DOM fluxes (Reiswig 1971, Pile et al. 1996, 1997, Kötter & Pernthaler 2002), or did not find DOM retention in sponge species lacking bacterial symbionts (Ribes et al. 1999, Yahel et al. 2007), it is difficult to compare total carbon fluxes.”
Nutrient Fluxes and Ecological Functions of Coral Reef Sponges in a Changing Ocean (2017, background): “Sponges graze on microbes: buffers DDAM in the future?—Sponges are efficient grazers of microbes, both bacterio- and phytoplankton (e.g., Reiswig 1971; Pile et al. 1996; Ribes et al. 1999; Lesser 2006; Yahel et al. 2007; McMurray et al. 2016).”
