The precursor hypothesis of sponge kleptocnidism: development of nematocysts in haliclona cnidata sp. nov. (porifera, demospongiae, haplosclerida)

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Johannes Schellenberg from the University Giessen, Giessen, Germany, Research Centre for BioSystems, Land Use and Nutrition, Institute of Applied have published the research work: The Precursor Hypothesis of Sponge Kleptocnidism: Development of Nematocysts in Haliclona cnidata sp. nov. (Porifera, Demospongiae, Haplosclerida), in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 20/06/2018
• what: The major goal of this study is therefore to infer the mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of nematocysts in sponges. Unexpectedly, the experiments demonstrated that different types of functional nematocysts can develop in this taxon without direct contact to a cnidarian donor.
