(Collaborative Research: Investigations into microbially mediated ecological diversification in sponges) | Marine sponges host diverse communities of microbial symbionts that expand the metabolic capabilities of their host, but the abundance and structure of these communities is highly variable across sponge species. Specificity in these interactions may fuel host niche partitioning on crowded coral reefs by allowing individual sponge species to exploit unique sources of carbon and nitrogen, but this hypothesis is yet to be tested. Given the presence of high sponge biomass and the coexistence of diverse sponge species, the Caribbean Sea provides a unique system in which to investigate this hypothesis. To test for ecological divergence among sympatric Caribbean sponges and investigate whether these trends are mediated by microbial symbionts, we measured stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) ratios and characterized the microbial community structure of sponge species at sites within four regions spanning a 1700 km latitudinal gradient. Samples were collected in 2013 and 2014 from reefs in Honduras, Belize, Panama, and the Florida Keys. There was a low (median of 8.2 %) overlap in the isotopic niches of sympatric species; in addition, host identity accounted for over 75% of the dissimilarity in both δ13C and δ15N values and microbiome community structure among individual samples within a site. There was also a strong phylogenetic signal in both δ15N values and microbial community diversity across host phylogeny, as well as a correlation between microbial community structure and variation in δ13C and δ15N values across samples. Together, this evidence supports a hypothesis of strong evolutionary selection for ecological divergence across sponge lineages and suggests that this divergence is at least partially mediated by associations with microbial symbionts.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSpecies_name (unitless)\nRegion_Country (unitless)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nMonth_and_year_of_collection (unitless)\nAve_depth_ft (feet)\nFreeman_Mean_Chla_Dry_wt (micrograms of chlorophyll a per gram of sponge tissue)\nHL_Chla (unitless)\nHMA_LMA (unitless)\n...

(Collaborative Research: Investigations into microbially mediated ecological diversification in sponges) | This dataset compiles information from a literature review (Freeman et al., 2021) of seminal and recent papers focusing on sponge ecology and sponge-microbe interactions. Data (when available in the literature) on sixteen characteristics of 82 sponge species from diverse subclasses are included. These data include enumeration of overall microbial abundance (High and Low Microbial Abundance: HMA and LMA), chemical defense allocation patterns and overall palatability in feeding assays, nutritional quality (carbohydrate, protein, lipid, and energy content), physical characteristics (tensile strength, ash content, tissue density), photosymbiont abundance (chlorophyll a concentration) physiology and metabolism (pumping rate, NOx production), nutrition (% of carbon derived from dissolved organic matter, detritus, and living particulate organic matter), and microbial symbiont diversity (expressed as the inverse Simpson's index).\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSponge_Species (unitless)\nClass (unitless)\nSubclass (unitless)\nOrder (unitless)\nFamily (unitless)\nHMA_LMA (unitless)\npalatability (unitless)\nash (milligrams per ml of sponge tissue (mg/ml))\ntensile (Newtons per m x 10^5 (N/m x 10^5))\ncarbohydrate (milligrams per ml of sponge tissue (mg/ml))\nprotein (milligrams per ml of sponge tissue (mg/ml))\nlipid (milligrams per ml of sponge tissue (mg/ml))\nenergy (Kilojoules per ml (kJ/ml))\nmean_ChlA (Micrograms of chlorophyll a per gram of sponge tissue (ug chl a/gram of sponge tissue))\ninverse_Simpson (unitless)\nNOx (unitless)\npump_Rate (liters per second per liter of sponge tissue)\nDOC (percentage (%))\nDET (percentage (%))\nLPOC (percentage (%))\nDensity (grams per ml (g/ml))\n | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/info/bcodmo_dataset_955245_v1/index.htmlTable | https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/dataset/955245![]() | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/rss/bcodmo_dataset_955245_v1.rss | https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=bcodmo_dataset_955245_v1&showErrors=false&email= | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_955245_v1 |
