Sponges are sessile filter-feeders that can process vast amounts of water and are known to influence the chemistry of the surrounding seawater. There has been limited work however to understand the extent to which sponges alter dissolved organic matter (DOM), yet in areas where sponges are abunda...
Cd248 has recently been associated with adipose tissue physiology, demonstrated by reduced weight gain in high fat diet-fed mice with genetic deletion of Cd248 relative to controls. Here we set out to determine the metabolic consequences of loss of Cd248. Strikingly, we find these to be sex speci...
Extracellular chemical cues constitute much of the language of life among marine organisms from microbes to mammals. These chemical cues shape foraging and feeding strategies, symbiotic interactions, selection of mates and habitats, and the transfer of energy and nutrient...
