Sponges are classified in the phylumPorifera. The word 'Porifera' comes from the Latin words 'porus' (pore) and 'ferre' (bear), meaning 'pore-bearer.' This is a reference to the numerous pores or holes on a sponge's surface. It is through these pores that the sponge draws in water ...
To get the most out of your natural sponge, it’s important to take care of it properly. Rinse it thoroughly after each use to remove dirt and cleaning solution, and allow it to dry in a well-ventilated area. Doing so will preserve its integrity and extend its lifespan significantly. Fi...
► Lifespan of a deep-sea sponge Monorhaphis chuni from the China Sea is estimated to be 11kyr. ► Temperature spikes of the seawater indicate a hydrothermal fluid input.doi:10.1016/j.chemgeo.2012.01.009Klaus Peter JochumXiaohong Wang...
Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the research team photographed the deep-sea life and took samples for future studies. One of the species captured on camera was a cup-shaped glass sponge, an animal believed to have the longest lifespan of any creature on Earth. They can live up t...
(RNA-seq) on the deep-sea spongePhakellia ventilabrum(Demospongiae, Bubarida), a key species of North-Atlantic sponge grounds, with the goal to (i) assess the reproductive strategy and seasonality of this species, (ii) examine the relative changes in the lipidome signal and the gene ...
The shelters are nearing the end of their lifespan and these sections of the prom will be upgraded as part of the waterfront project. In the meantime, State of Independents will make great use of the shelters; celebrating our hardworking local businesses and hopefully encouraging footfall from ...
How long do sea slugs live for? The life span of a sea slug, or the nudibranch, varies in different species. Some of the species are known to livefor one year, but other species like the Dolabella auricularia can live for about six years when kept in an aquarium. The Cephalaspidean ...
<Depends, some eat plankton, some are detritivores.> 10. What is their average life span? <Depends, can be 5-10 years.> 11. What do they feel like? <Also depends.> 12. What was you reaction when you fist held/touched it? (if you have ever done so) <Hey, that cucumber says ...
LA-ICP-MS transects were taken parallel to previously measured electron microprobe lines extending across the entire lifespan of the algal specimen41. LA-ICP-MS analysis was conducted in order to obtain Ba/Ca records from the algal specimen as microprobe analyses were limited to measuring only ...
(Additional file1: Figure S6). Three of five SOD2 genes were recovered in transcriptomic and proteomic data (Additional file1: Table S7). Previous studies suggested that overexpression of SOD1 or SOD2 could significantly extend lifespan in mammals, fruit flies, andCaenorhabditis. elegans[42]. ...
