Hyperdiverse Macrofauna Communities Associated with a Common Sponge, <i>Stylissa carteri</i>, Shift across Ecological Gradients in the Central Red Sea
Sponges act as important microhabitats in the marine environment and promote biodiversity by harboring a wide variety of macrofauna, but little is known about the magnitude and patterns of diversity of sponge-associated communities. This study uses DNA barcoding to examine the macrofaunal communitie...
