Happy to share our new @Ecology_Letters review on measuring habitat complexity and spatial heterogeneity in ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Measuring habitat complexity and spatial heterogeneity in ecology

Given the rise of remote-sensing, up-to-date and clear guidance on measuring complexity is urgently needed. Here we review how complexity is measured in ecology. We provide a framework for metrics...

Now THAT’s a headline. 🤧 “Sea sponges launch slow-motion snot rockets to clean their pores”sciencenews.org/article/sea-…

Sea sponges launch slow-motion snot rockets to clean their pores

Sea sponges rely on a sneezing mechanism to clear their pores, using mucus to flush out debris. This mucus provides food for other marine life.

Our sneezing sponges 🤧 are now also in the print version of the #NewYorkTimes Actually it was in the science section yesterday, but was only in stores on Hawai'i today... The perks of #islandlife 😝 @FAME_IBED_UvA @IBED_UvA @UvA_Science @SpongeLoop

The sneezing #sponges were featured in 250+ news articles around the world! 🤧 One more video? Small critters eat the sponge mucus, making the sponge a vital part of the ecosystem 🪱 [Kornder et al. Current Biology] @KornderA @SpongeLoop @FAME_IBED_UvA @CurrentBiology

New study by #IBED @KornderA and colleagues shows that sponges 'sneeze' to get rid of waste. Beautiful time-lapse shows the mucus collecting at central points and the sponge sneezing 👇 @FAME_IBED_UvA @SpongeLoop Credit: Daniel Stoupin (Current Biology, Kornder et al.)

🧐Did you know that Sponges have existed for over 600 million years? What is their added value for preserving the 🌊 marine #environment ? Come and learn w/ Benjamin Müller & @DeepSea_Sponges at the EU Booth @aaas ! #H2020 @EU_EASME
