چکیده
The case of the " Missing Forceps " has been quickly followed by that of the " Overlooked Sponge," which has recently been tried by Mr. Justice Bruce and a special jury. The operator on this occasion was a lady doctor Miss Mary Thorne, M.D., f.r.c.s.i. The patient underwent the operation of laparotomy for pelvic abscess in a surgical home and for a time appeared to have been quite restored to health and was correspondingly Grateful. Unpleasant symptoms recurred after an interval, and another operation for abdominal abscess became necessary, lhis was done in the

Do Spicules in Sediments Reflect the Living Sponge Community? a Test in a Caribbean Shallow-water Lagoon
We compared sponge spicules occurring in surface sediments with those of a living sponge community in a shallow-water reef environment of Bocas del Toro archipelago, Panama, with the goal of evaluating how faithfully spicular analysis reflects the living sponge community. Most megasclere morphotypes present in living species are also found in sediment. On the contrary, microscleres are underrep...
متن کاملThe Sponge Pump: The Role of Current Induced Flow in the Design of the Sponge Body Plan
Sponges are suspension feeders that use flagellated collar-cells (choanocytes) to actively filter a volume of water equivalent to many times their body volume each hour. Flow through sponges is thought to be enhanced by ambient current, which induces a pressure gradient across the sponge wall, but the underlying mechanism is still unknown. Studies of sponge filtration have estimated the energet...
متن کاملWho’s there? – First morphological and DNA barcoding catalogue of the shallow Hawai’ian sponge fauna
The sponge fauna has been largely overlooked in the Archipelago of Hawai'i, notwithstanding the paramount role of this taxon in marine ecosystems. The lack of knowledge about Porifera populations inhabiting the Hawai'ian reefs limits the development of ecological studies aimed at understanding the functioning of these marine systems. Consequently, this project addresses this gap by describing t...
متن کاملHarnessing Natural Recovery Processes to Improve Restoration Outcomes: An Experimental Assessment of Sponge-Mediated Coral Reef Restoration
BACKGROUND Restoration is increasingly implemented to reestablish habitat structure and function following physical anthropogenic disturbance, but scientific knowledge of effectiveness of methods lags behind demand for guidelines. On coral reefs, recovery is largely dependent on coral reestablishment, and substratum stability is critical to the survival of coral fragments and recruits. Concrete...
