This study shows bottom trawling reduces seafloor carbon storage through physical disturbance and by disrupting faunal-microbial interactions that regulate sediment carbon dynamics.

This study examines how host traits and environmental factors, including bottom trawling, influence the intestinal microbiota of flatfish species in the North Sea.

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.

This study shows that losing a key microbial symbiont in sponges leads to body plan reorganization and transcriptomic changes, linking microbiome state to host development.
