Abstract

Chondrosia reniformis is a common marine demosponge that shows striking tissue plasticity and unusual body deformability. This sponge can develop long and slender outgrowths extending from the parental body. According to some authors, this phenomenon, called “creeping”, can be related to asexual reproduction, atypical mechanisms of «localized» locomotion or passive response to environmental stress. Here we address this phenomenon by means of an interdisciplinary approach consisting of field survey, experimental field
studies and experimental laboratory studies.
