Beschreibung
While sponges represent a very simple group of organisms, which are represented by over 8000 species, there is considerable interest in the increasing role they may play in future marine ecosystems. While we still have a comparatively limited understanding of how sponges will respond to ocean warming and acidification there is evidence that some species may have the ability to acclimate or even adapt to these stressors. This comprehensive collection of articles describes our current understanding of the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on sponges across multiple levels of biological organisation, and from the geological past to the present. With expert contributions from across the world this book represents the most up-to-date view on sponge responses to climate change. This book will be of interest to a wide audience of marine scientists and managers, who are grappling with how to manage, conserve and protect marine ecosystems.

There is no other book dealing with the response of sponges to climate change and ocean acidification The book will include the more recent scientific research studies based on a wide range of approaches Books have been written on other animal groups but not for sponges so there is a gap in the current literature

“For individuals (especially students) looking for a compilation of literature reviews (and/or regional case studies) on several relevant and pressing topics within the sponge world, this will be an excellent addition to their library.” (Amber D. Stubler, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 95 (2), June, 2020)
