In situ Pumping Rate of 20 Marine Demosponges Is a Function of Osculum Area
Sponges play a key role in the transfer of energy and nutrients into many benthic ecosystems, and the volume of water they process is an important regulator of these fluxes. Theoretical scaling relationships between sponge volume, osculum cross-sectional area, and pumping rates were recently propose...
