The Central Arctic Ocean is one of the most oligotrophic oceans on Earth because of its sea-ice
cover and short productive season. Nonetheless, across the peaks of extinct volcanic …

Sponges produce distinct fatty acids (FAs) that (potentially) can be used as chemotaxonomic
and ecological biomarkers to study endosymbiont-host interactions and the functional …

In 2016, the research ice-breaker Polarstern surveyed the submerged peaks of the permanently
ice-covered Langseth Ridge, a tectonic feature comprising the Karasik seamount and …

Background The screening for primary aldosteronism is based on the aldosterone–renin
ratio calculated with the plasma renin activity (PRA) value as denominator. A direct …

Sponges play an important ecological function in many benthic habitats. They filter large
volumes of water, retain suspended particles with high efficiency, and process dissolved …

Sponges play a key role in the transfer of energy and nutrients into many benthic ecosystems,
and the volume of water they process is an important regulator of these fluxes. Theoretical …

Sponges are unique among metazoans in their ability to use dissolved organic matter (DOM),
the largest pool of organic matter in the ocean, as a major food source. The effect of …

Host-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, we still have
very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary …
