Combined cellular and proteomics approach suggest differential processing of native and foreign vibrios in the sponge Halichondria panicea

The paper compares phagocytic processing of native and foreign Vibrio isolates in sponges, finding differential cellular and proteomic responses.

The chromosome-level genome of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz, 1865 reveals a unique immune gene repertoire

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome of Mnemiopsis leidyi, revealing unique immune gene domains and their expression in response to pathogen exposure.

Accelerated growth of the scleractinian coral Orbicella faveolata under turbid and polluted water conditions

This study examines how historical water quality changes in Cartagena Bay affected the growth of Orbicella faveolata corals, finding increased linear extension and decreased skeletal density after 1981 dredging events.

A paleogenomic and paleoclimatic approach to reconstruct historical responses of coral holobionts to anthropogenic change

This study uses paleogenomic and paleoclimatic data to reconstruct historical changes in coral holobiont composition linked to anthropogenic disturbances in a Caribbean reef.

Transcriptomic responses of Mediterranean sponges upon encounter with seawater or symbiont microbial consortia

This study examines transcriptomic responses of two sponge species to different microbial consortia, finding species-specific immune gene expression and a role for NLRs in microbial discrimination.
