About this book

Language: English

This volume of the Fauna d'Italia, written completely in English, deals with the Porifera, or sponges. It presents the latest scientific findings, a comprehensive taxonomy, and gives details on the ecology of each species.

Summary in Italian:
Porifera è il nome scientifico con cui vengono classificati gli organismi marini animali comunemente chiamati 'spugne'. Presenti in tutte le zone del mondo dai Tropici al Polo, anche in acque dolci, le spugne hanno rivelato notevoli capacità in vari settori di applicazione, particolarmente in campo biomedico e cosmetico dove la richiesta supera la domanda. Attualmente, la situazione delle spugne in ambiente naturale è fortemente compromessa sia per l'eccessivo sfruttamento delle risorse sia per l'inquinamento delle acque. Proprio in questo campo e in combinazione con microrganismi selezionati, hanno rivelato proprietà non comuni nel risanamento delle acque, specialmente da agenti chimici. In questo libro, completamente in inglese, le ultime scoperte in campo scientifico e un quadro completo della tassonomia e delle condizioni ecologiche delle singole specie.
