©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset compiles information from a literature review (Freeman et al., 2021) of seminal and recent papers focusing on sponge ecology and sponge-microbe interactions. Data (when available in the literature) on sixteen characteristics of 82 sponge species from diverse subclasses are included. These data include enumeration of overall microbial abundance (High and Low Microbial Abundance: HMA and LMA), chemical defense allocation patterns and overall palatability in feeding assays, nutritional...
