Trait-mediated ecosystem impacts: how morphology and size affect pumping rates of the Caribbean giant barrel sponge
Sponges are a dominant component of Caribbean coral reef suspension-feeding communities. Understanding how pumping rates are affected by sponge size and morphology, as well as the environment, is fundamental to understanding the ecological interactions that are mediated by sponge filtration. In a co...
