Respiration kinetics and allometric scaling in the demosponge Halichondria panicea
Abstract Background The aquiferous system in sponges represents one of the simplest circulatory systems used by animals for the internal uptake and distribution of oxygen and metabolic substrates. Its modular organization enables sponges to metabolically scale with size differently than animals with...
