Diversity, structure and convergent evolution of the global sponge microbiome

Sponges are early-diverging marine organisms that establish complex symbioses with microorganisms. Here, Thomas et al.analyse the microbial communities associated with 81 species of sponges from around the world, shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of these host-microbe associa...
