Abstract in brief

  • Sponges are ancient organisms with unique feeding systems that range from simple filter-feeding chambers to complex structures, providing insights into early animal evolution.
  • During their evolution, some sponge groups shifted from filter feeding to carnivory, by replacing their filtration apparatus with mobile cells that actively hunt prey.
  • The study of these diverse feeding mechanisms highlights how sponges have adapted over time, showcasing an important evolutionary transition from passive filter feeding to active predation.]

The humble sea sponge might seem innocent, but small animals need to watch out for the carnivorous variety. https://t.co/3dlyxZ92oT https://t.co/PzxcXlIFmH

Y a une partie sur les éponges carnivores, notamment Lycopodina hypogea - une espèce que j'adore (ça se voit). J'en avais parlé dans une vidéo, où je traitais des éponges et cnidaires des grottes sous-marines : https://t.co/xtti51BCh4 https://t.co/CzjlAhNRlM
