Sažetak
Sponges (Porifera) are considered to be the most basal recent representatives of metazoa. They are also considered as sessile, active, inner filter feeders. The water pumped through their bodies is containing planktonic eucaryotic and procaryotic organisms as well as particulate and dissolved organic matter. Sponges are considered to take up all of the aforementioned resources from the surrounding water. Our recent results show how the common demosponge Aplysina aerophoba Nardo 1886 from the northern Adriatic interacts with planktonic pro- and eucaryonts. Employing advanced microscopical, histological and molecular biological techniques, we could retrieve a detailed picture of the interaction between sponges and plankton in situ. Our results indicate that the filter-feeding part is to be considered as playing only a minor role in this and presumably also other sponges` lifestyle.
