Homaxinella
''Homaxinella'' is a genus of sea sponges in the family Suberitidae. The type species is '' Homaxinella balfourensis''. Description ''Homaxinella'' was originally included in the sponge family Axinellidae but the structure of the skeleton shows that it lacks a reticulation and has bundles of calcareous spicules at the surface which led to its inclusion in Suberitidae. The members of the genus are rooted to the substrate and have stalks, a much branched habit of growth and an axially condensed choanosomal A choanosome is an inner region of a sponge, supported on the choanoskeleton, the stucture that contains the choanocyte Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells") are cells that line the interior of asconoid, syconoid and leuconoid body types of ... skeleton. They have an extra-axial skeleton of bundles of megascleres which are exclusively styles, and a profusion of further incoherently arranged styles, in a wide range of sizes. There are no microscleres.

Pseudospongosorites
''Pseudospongosorites'' is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the family Suberitidae. Currently, the genus is considered as monotypic, consisting of a single species ''Pseudospongosorites suberitoides''. It is found in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and on the Atlantic coast of the United States as far north as North Carolina. This species is known by the common name Florida hermit crab sponge, so named because hermit crabs often use it as shelter. Taxonomy ''Pseudospongosorites suberitoides'' was originally thought to represent a species in the genus ''Suberites'', due to its superficial resemblance and similar ecology. ''Suberites'' contains nearly all other sponges known as the 'hermit crab sponges,' most notably '' Suberites domuncula''. However the ''Suberites'' hermit crab sponges are only found in deep water greater than 20m, while ''Pseudospongosorites suberitoides'' is usually found in shallow water near shore. In 1993 the species was named as a species in the g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Suberites Domuncula
''Suberites domuncula'' is a species of sea sponge belonging to the family Suberitidae. This species contains suberitine, a neurotoxin that can cause fatal hemolytic hemorrhaging in various animals. While it is highly toxic to fish, it is known to be preyed upon by the hawksbill turtle, ''Eretmochelys imbricata''. There are currently two accepted subspecies of this taxon: ''Suberites domuncula domuncula'' and ''S. domuncula latus''. In 1893, Lambe described a new sponge species as ''Suberites latus''. This was later determined to be a junior synonym of ''S. domuncula'' and merged into the species as a subspecies under the scientific name ''S. domuncula latus''. ''S. domuncula'' is well known for colonizing gastropod shells occupied by hermit crabs. At least 13 species of hermit crabs have been found associated with this sponge. It has also been recorded attached to the shells of live gastropods and the carapace of other crustaceans. Anatomy and Physiology The body plan of t ...

Suberites
''Suberites'' is a genus of sea sponges in the family Suberitidae. Sponges, known scientifically as ''Porifera'', are the oldest metazoans and are used to elucidate the basics of multicellular evolution. These living fossils are ideal for studying the principal features of metazoans, such as extracellular matrix interactions, signal-receptor systems, nervous or sensory systems, and primitive immune systems. Thus, sponges are useful tools with which to study early animal evolution. They appeared approximately 580 million years ago, in the Ediacaran. Evolutionary significance As members of the oldest phylum of metazoans, ''Suberites'' serve as model organisms to elucidate features of the earliest animals. ''Suberites'' and their relatives are used to determine the structure of the first metazoans and have been studied to determine how totipotency has replaced by pluripotency in most higher animals. Among other things, ''Suberites'' show that tyrosine-phosphorylation machinery e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
