Sorry for cross-postings,

 

For those interested in the biology and ecology of the Caribbean giant barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, we have several new publications on disease, bleaching, growth and age of these "redwoods of the reef".  Click on the hyperlink, or go to the PDF site below.  More information and photos are at the "Website" link below.  Additional pubs on restoration, demographics, population genetics and bleaching are coming soon!
