Alvarez, B., P. J. Frings, W. Clymans, G. Fontorbe, and D. J. Conley. 2017. Assessing the Potential of Sponges (Porifera) as Indicators of Ocean Dissolved Si Concentrations. Frontiers in Marine Science 4. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2017.00373
We explore the distribution of sponges along dissolved silica (dSi) concentration gradients to test whether sponge assemblages are related to dSi and to assess the validity of fossil sponges as a palaeoecological tool for inferring dSi concentrations of the past oceans. We extracted sponge records f…
