Chemical defenses and resource trade-offs structure sponge communities on Caribbean coral reefs.
Ecological studies have rarely been performed at the community level across a large biogeographic region. Sponges are now the primary habitat-forming organisms on Caribbean coral reefs. Recent species-level investigations have demonstrated that predatory fishes (angelfishes and some parrotfishes) differentially graze sponges that lack chemical defenses, while co-occurring, palatable species hea...
متن کاملSponge-inhabiting barnacles on Red Sea coral reefs
In this study eight dierent species of barnacles were found within nine species of sponges from the Red Sea. This brings to 11 the number of sponge-symbiotic barnacles reported from the Red Sea, two of these are new Acasta species (not described herein) and one (A. tzetlini Kolbasov) is a new record for this sea. This number is much higher than that of symbiotic barnacles found within sponges ...
متن کاملExtracellular hydrolytic enzymes of halophilic bacteria isolated from a subterranean rock salt crystal
The current study describes the extracellular hydrolytic activities of halophilic bacteria isolated from subterranean rock salt. The estimated number of grown colonies was approximately 3000 per gram of a rock salt on the surface of the medium MH containing 10% NaCl. The investigated strains, randomly selected from the colonies observed on the plate, showed at least one of the tested extracellu...
متن کاملChemical warfare on coral reefs: Sponge metabolites differentially affect coral symbiosis in situ
Coral reef ecosystems are characterized by high species diversity and intense levels of biotic interaction, particularly competition for space among sessile benthic invertebrates. Using in situ pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry, we demonstrate that secondary metabolites present in the tissues of some Caribbean sponge species have rapid allelopathic effects on the symbiotic algae (zooxanthel...
