Too hot for my bugs: Mediterranean heatwaves disrupt associated microbiomes in the sponge Petrosia ficiformis

2025-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Global climate change exacerbates the incidence of marine heatwaves (MHWs), which have increased in intensity and frequency over the past years, causing severe impacts on marine coastal ecosystems. MHWs have already triggered massive coral bleaching and mass mortalities of habitat-forming species, including sponges and gorgonians, in temperate, tropical and polar seas. In t...
