In situ feeding and metabolism of glass sponges (Hexactinellida, Porifera) studied in a deep temperate fjord with a remotely operated submersible (2007, background): “DOC was shown to be a substantial component of the diet of the coral reef sponge Theonella swinhoei (Yahel et al. 2003), and a predominantly dissolved diet was also inferred for several other ‘bacteriosponges’ that harbor massive populations of associated (symbiotic) bacteria (Reiswig 1981).”
A test of the sponge-loop hypothesis for emergent Caribbean reef sponges (2018, methodology): “The DOM pool available on coral reefs is highly heterogeneous 2 McMurray et al.: Testing the sponge-loop hypothesis (Hansell & Carlson 2002), consisting of a mixture of refractory and labile forms that likely vary in their bioavailability to sponges (Yahel et al. 2003, de Goeij et al. 2008b).”
Tracing 13C‐enriched dissolved and particulate organic carbon in the bacteria‐containing coral reef sponge Halisarca caerulea: Evidence for DOM‐feeding (2008, background): “The reported massive removal of ambient DOC in the presence of sponges (Yahel et al. 2003; De Goeij et al. 2008) can definitely be ascribed to assimilation and respiration of DOM by the sponge– microbe association.”
The functional roles of marine sponges (2008, background): “…the dissolved pool and although Diaz and Rützler (2001) identified bulk dissolved organic matter (DOM) uptake by sponges as important, research by Yahel et al. (2003) was the first to demonstrate direct evidence for uptake of DOM by sponges, indicating that the role of sponges (and other…”
Intense benthic grazing of phytoplankton in a coral reef (2009, background): “The efficiency by which those suspension feeders removed phytoplankton from the water they filtered ranged from 22% in the Tridacna spp. to over 70% in some sponges and tunicates (Yahel 2003; Yahel et al. 2003, 2005).”
Major bulk dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal by encrusting coral reef cavity sponges (2008, background): “Both Reiswig (1971) and Yahel et al. (2003) found significant excretion of detrital material by the examined sponges (possible sponge cell material or faeces).”
Importance of a micro-diet for scleractinian corals (2004, background): “…a potential food source for corals; it constitutes the vast majority of the organic carbon pool in the oceans (Sharp 1997) and was shown to be a significant food source for several aquatic metazoans (Reiswig 1971, Smith & Kaufmann 1999, Yahel et al. 2003) including corals (Al-Moghrabi et al. 1996).”
An Anaerobic World in Sponges (2005, background): “It was recently shown that a bacteria-rich coral reef sponge gains most of its carbon from the dissolved pool (Yahel et al. 2003).”
InEx—a direct in situ method to measure filtration rates, nutrition, and metabolism of active suspension feeders (2005, methodology): “Custom-made precombusted glass samplers were used for special applications (e.g., dissolved organic carbon [DOC] sampling, Yahel et al. 2003).”
The distribution of deep-sea sponge aggregations in the North Atlantic and implications for their effective spatial management (2016, background): “…deep sea (Pile and Young 2006; Yahelet al., 2007), with sponges representing an important link between carbon in the water column in the form of ultraplankton and picoplankton (Reiswig 1975), dissolved organic carbon (Yahel et al., 2003) and viral particles (Hadas et al., 2006), and the benthos.”
