Euplectellidae
Euplectellidae is a family of glass sponges (Hexactinellids) belonging to the order Lyssacinosa Lyssacinosida is an order of glass sponges belonging to the subclass Hexasterophora. These sponges can be recognized by the parenchymal spicule Spicules are any of various small needle-like anatomical structures occurring in organisms Spicule ..., first represented in the Ordovician fossil record, substantially older than molecular estimates of the clade's age. Taxonomies According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) the family includes the following subfamilies and genera: Subfamily Bolosominae Tabachnick, 2002 * '' Advhena'' Castello-Branco, Collins & Hajdu, 2020 * '' Amphidiscella'' Tabachnick & Lévi, 1997 * '' Amphoreus'' Reiswig & Kelly, 2018 * '' Bolosoma'' Ijima, 1904 * '' Caulocalyx'' Schulze, 1886 * '' Hyalostylus'' Schulze, 1886 * '' Neocaledoniella'' Tabachnick & Lévi, 2004 * '' Rhizophyta'' Shen, Dohrmann, Zhang, Lu & Wang, 2019 * '' Saccocalyx'' Sch ...

Bolosoma
''Bolosoma'' is a genus of pedunculated siliceous sponges belonging to the family Euplectellidae. This genus lives in deep-sea environments and provides a habitat for a plethora of other benthic species, giving ''Bolosoma'' an incredibly important ecological role in the ecosystems it is a part of. General Ecology Siliceous sponges such as ''Bolosoma'' are habitat building species, with many groups such as echinoderms and marine worms living on them. Even when dead, Bolosoma peduncles can provide structure for organisms like ophiuroids. Similar to many other taxa of deep-water suspension feeders, the diet and feeding habits of ''Bolosoma'' are relatively unknown due to lack of study. The reproductive dynamics of ''Bolosoma'' likewise are relatively unknown. Due to their habitat-building ecological role, deep-sea siliceous sponges such as ''Bolosoma'' have been used as indicator taxa of the stability of the ecosystems they inhabit, especially for vulnerable marine ecosystems on s ...

Euplectella Aspergillum
The Venus' flower basket (''Euplectella aspergillum'') is a glass sponge in the phylum Porifera. It is a marine sponge found in the deep waters of the Pacific ocean, usually at depths below 500 meters. Like other sponges, they feed by filtering sea water to capture plankton and marine snow. Similar to other glass sponges, they build their skeletons out of silica, which forms a unique lattice structure of spicules. The sponges are usually between 10 cm and 30 cm tall, and their bodies act as refuge for their mutualist shrimp partners. This body structure is of great interest in materials science as the optical and mechanical properties are in some ways superior to man-made materials. Little is known regarding their reproduction habits, however fluid dynamics of their body structure likely influence reproduction and it is hypothesized that they may be hermaphroditic. Habitat Venus' flower baskets are found in the western Pacific Ocean nearby the Philippine Islands. Othe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
