Cliona orientalis and Gerakladium endoclionum (algal symbiont) transcriptomes
Reference transcriptomes were sequenced to facilitate sponge holobiont research aimed at exploring how both host and symbiont respond to changing environmental conditions. These... -
Cliona orientalis, genomic and transcriptomic data
This project collects the genomic and transcriptomic data generated for Cliona orientalis to facilitate genome assembly and annotation as part of the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics... -
Effect of suspended sediments on the sponge holobiont
Dredging can cause high suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in the water column, posing risks to filter feeding organisms like sponges as sediment may clog their aquiferous... -
Effect of sediment smothering on the sponge holobiont
Dredging can cause increased sedimentation in marine communities and smothering of sessile benthic organisms. In order to provide pressure:response values for sponges to... -
Elevated temperature disrupts the microbiome of a bioeroding sponge
This project provides the first detailed description of the microbial community of the bioeroding sponge Cliona orientalis and assesses how the community changes in response to... -
Ocean acidification accelerates reef bioerosion
In the recent discussion how biotic systems may react to ocean acidification caused by the rapid rise in carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) in the marine realm, substantial... -
Effects of ocean acidification and global warming on reef bioerosion-lessons ...
Coral reefs are under threat, exerted by a number of interacting effects inherent to the present climate change, including ocean acidification and global warming. Bioerosion...
