✦ Synopsis

The associated macrofauna of four Aegean Sea sponge species (Apelas oroides, Petrosia ficiforrnis, lrcinia variahilis and Aplysina aerophoha) was compared. The total number of individuals and species was found to be related to sponge volume for all sponge species.

The associated macrofaunal weight per individual on all sponge species was negatively correlated with sponge volume. Sponge complexity, as measured by sponge surface area to biomass ratio, was not a consistent predictor of associated macrofauna abundance or diversity. Sponge macrofauna species were not host specific and their relative abundances differed among sponge species.

## Abstract The seasonal modulation of the relationship between the sea‐level pressure anomalies (SLPAs) over the North Atlantic region (100°W–50°E; 20–70°N) and the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the tropical Pacific (120–290°E; 20°N–20°S) is investigated in the northern winter (Octo
