► Description: |
This volume will become a reference to
marine biologists with interest in
- benthic ecology and biotic interactions,
including symbiosis
- chemical and molecular ecology
- systematics, phylogeny, and evolution
- sponge culture and tissue engineering
Content:
■ 1- The physiology and molecular biology
of sponge tissues
■ 2- Sponge-microbe symbioses: recent
advances and new directions
■ 3- Nutrient fluxes through sponges:
biology, budgets, and ecological
implications
■ 4- Sponge chemical diversity: from
biosynthetic pathways to ecological roles
■ 5- Biosilica: molecular biology,
biochemistry and function in demosponges
as well as its applied aspects for tissue
engineering
■ 6- Cultivation of sponges, sponge cells
and symbionts: achievements and future
prospects
