What do a Soviet shipwreck, YouTube, and 3D photogrammetry have in common? We used them to study sponges! The latest research from the Pawlik lab, out today in Scientific Reports go.nature.com/2r5W3BF #phdresearch #reefscience #photogrammetry #marinebio

What's new in Caribbean sponge ecology? Check out our latest review paper: peerj.com/articles/4343 with @TseLynn @StevenMcMurray @thePeerJ #coralreefs @sponge_papers

In contrast to their cryptic counterparts, emergent #sponges are not net producers of #detritus on #coralreefs. #OA @MEPS_IR bit.ly/meps_588_1
