Good morning Breadcrumb sponge – time to stop pumping ☀️Our new preprint shows sunrise-induced contractions in Halichondria panicea👉 Even animals without nerves or muscles respond to daily light cycles doi: doi.org/10.1101/2025... @VILLUMscience #IndependentResearchFundDenmark

Diurnal rhythms with sunrise-induced oscular contractions suggest photosensitivity in the demosponge Halichondria panicea

Despite their quiescent lifestyle, sponges display contraction-expansion behaviours that regulate water flow through their aquiferous system. These behaviours are intrinsically generated but can be mo...

Hvis alle brændte biomasse som Danmark, ville al skov i hele verden være fældet om 50 år. Den lader vi lige stå. #dkpol jyllands-posten.dk/debat/leder/...

Our new research on a calcareous syconoid sponge, reveals high choanocyte pumping rates and sheds light on its aquiferous system, enhancing our understanding of sponge fluid dynamics. #BiologyAarhus #VILLUMscience #IndependentResearchFundDenmark rdcu.be/dXZ5y
