Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures, physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past decade, investment in research on ...

Below, we’ll take a look at these surprisingly long-lived creatures. The Animal that Can Live 10,000 Years Discovered Sponges filter water rather than defecate in the traditional manner. ©John A.

The longest-living creature on earth is the glass sponge, which can live up to 10,000 to 15,000 years. On the other hand, tortoises are considered the oldest living land mammal on earth.

Certain animals on Earth possess extraordinary lifespans, surviving for hundreds of years and displaying remarkable adaptability. These creatures, fro ...

Hexactinellida has the least endemism with eight endemic species, of the 19 species (Fig. 6). Figure 6 Percentage of Brazilian non-endemic and endemic species in the four classes of sponges until ...

Which is the longest-living animal in the world? Explore fascinating facts about these incredible creatures and their extraordinary lifespans in the wild.

Scientists discovered a new underwater mountain and more than 100 potentially new-to-science species during recent expeditions in the Southeast Pacific, including rare creatures like flying ...

Scientists have discovered an ancient sponge species, Helicolocellus, in China, dating back 550 million years, offering new insights into sponge evolution and filling a crucial gap in their early ...

The newly discovered Helicolocellus shows morphological characteristics similar to those of glass sponges (Hexactinellida), such as a radially symmetric conical body, a discoidal attachment ...

A new adenine-substituted bromotyrosine-derived metabolite designated as aphrocallistin (1) has been isolated from the deep-water Hexactinellida sponge Aphrocallistes beatrix. Its structure was ...

Here we provide a high-quality and well-annotated genome of Aphrocallistes vastus, a glass sponge (Porifera: Hexactinellida) that forms large reef structures off the coast of British Columbia (Canada) ...
