This study examines dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluxes and fatty acid composition in New Zealand sponges, finding that some species release TDN and alter FDOM fluorophores, suggesting bacterial involvement in DOM transformation.

This study examines nutrient fluxes, oxygen consumption, and fatty acid composition in deep-water sponges from New Zealand, identifying differences in nitrogen cycling and microbial communities among sponge clusters.

The paper argues for integrating spatial ocean connectivity into aquaculture carrying capacity estimates to better assess risks of marine disease dispersal and ecosystem impacts.

This paper predicts the spatio-temporal distribution of deep-sea coral and sponge microbiomes using environmental, host, and microbiome data across 214 years.
