In this study, we analysed patterns of growth in three abundant sublittoral sponges from the western Mediterranean Sea, chosen for their close phylogenetic relatedness, sympatric distribution, and contrasting amounts of photosymbionts: high in <i>Ircinia</i> <i>fasciculata</i>, lower in <i>I</i>. <i>variabilis</i>, and absent in <i>I</i>. <i>oros</i>. Sponge area, perimeter, number of oscula, and epibiont abundance were quantified from in situ digital images taken monthly for 1.5&nbsp;years and volumetric growth rates were calculated from empirical area–volume relationships. Volumetric growth rates were different among species and coherent with the photosymbiont abundance: high in <i>I</i>. <i>fasciculata</i> (40.03&nbsp;±&nbsp;4.81&nbsp;%&nbsp;year<sup>−1</sup>, mean&nbsp;±&nbsp;SE), low in <i>I</i>. <i>variabilis</i> (5.65&nbsp;±&nbsp;6.11&nbsp;% year<sup>−1</sup>), and almost nil in <i>I</i>. <i>oros</i> (−0.04&nbsp;±&nbsp;3.02&nbsp;% year<sup>−1</sup>). Furthermore, a marked seasonality was observed in the first two species, with greater growth during the warm season. The high growth rates of <i>I</i>. <i>fasciculata</i> were likely fuelled by symbiont-derived photosynthates and required to compete in the well-lit, algal-dominated habitats this species prefers. In contrast, <i>I</i>. <i>variabilis</i> and <i>I</i>. <i>oros</i> tended to dwell in shaded habitats, where competition from slow-growing invertebrates is intense, and featured lower growth rates. The flattened morphology and lower circularity of <i>I</i>. <i>variabilis</i> indicates a capacity for adaptation to any space that is freed, while <i>I</i>. <i>oros</i> had less oscula and was more massive and circular, suggesting a strategy of passive occupation and minimisation of biological interactions. The results show that even congeneric species living sympatrically can achieve important biomass using different growth and substrate occupation strategies.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Lights and shadows: growth patterns in three sympatric and congeneric sponges (<i>Ircinia</i> spp.) with contrasting abundances of photosymbionts","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-19 01:32:08.360831","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2013,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-11-13","DateCreate":"2020-11-13","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000324871300019","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s00227-013-2267-8"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":330931,"PubliDate":2013,"Pagination":"2743-2754","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"160","Issue":"10","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43352,"SerRR":"Marine Biology: International Journal on Life in Oceans and Coastal Waters.
