	note = {Abstract.  {\textquotedblleft}Marine sponges are known to host large and diverse microbial communities, with the composition of these communities remaining fairly stable across large spatial and temporal scales. Sponges inhabiting the coast of Oregon, USA host bacteria capable of numerous nitrogen transformations, so it is hypothesized that the bacterial community would change as ambient nutrient conditions change. To test this hypothesis, we placed nutrient addition devices (NAD) at Netarts Bay, Oregon for six weeks to increase the nutrient load.{\textquotedblright} (from the Description) Higher nutrient loads seemed to be detrimental to the sponges.},

	note = {"Linfield College Student Scholarship Symposium. Event. Submission 10."  This is an abstract of a presentation at a student symposium.  The authors examined sponges to see how sponges, and the microbial communities that live with them, responded to increased nutrients, which represented environmental degradation.  After six weeks of treatment, there were fewer sponges, and fewer microbes. {\textquotedblleft}As sponge communities seem to show a predictable response to excess nitrogen, they remain excellent candidates for use as bioindicators.{\textquotedblright}},

	title = {Tidal Variation in Nitrogen Cycling in Oregon Sponges [poster]},
	year = {2013},
	note = {{\textquotedblleft}As filter feeders, marine sponges are closely integrated with their environment. Sponges also host many diverse species of bacteria that carry out a gamut of metabolic processes, including several nitrogen transformations. The variable nature of tidal exchanges can influence the biogeochemicals available for the sponge and its associated microbes to obtain from the environment. As ambient nutrient concentrations change, it is suggested that the pumping rates of the sponge will change, thus altering the activity of the symbionts. To explore these hypotheses, ambient and exhalent water samples were collected at both high tide and low tide in Netarts Bay, Oregon{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},
