Nudibranch predation boosts sponge silicon cycling

M. Lopez-Acosta, C. Potel, M. Gallinari, F. F. Perez, A. Leynaert

This study shows that nudibranch predation significantly reduces sponge biomass and accelerates silicon cycling in marine ecosystems.

Sponge contribution to the silicon cycle of a diatom-rich shallow bay

M. Lopez-Acosta, M. Maldonado, J. Grall, A. Ehrhold, C. Sitja, C. Galobart, A. Leynaert

This study quantifies silicon stocks and fluxes in sponges and diatoms in the Bay of Brest, finding that sponges hold much larger silicon stocks and cycle them much slower than diatoms.
