A team around deep-sea scientist Antje Boetius has now discovered that sponges leave trails on the sea floor in the Arctic deep sea. They conclude that the animals might move actively – even if only a few centimetres per year. They are now publishing these unique findings in the journal Current Biology. The surprise was great when researchers looked at high-resolution images of the sea floor of the Arctic deep sea in detail: Path-like ...
