We evaluated the performance of COI metabarcoding in detecting marine cryptic sponges, which are notoriously difficult to identify using both morphological and molecular methods. These results confirmed the need for discretion in sponge molecular operational taxonomic unit assignments using universal degenerate barcoding primers that target a short ...

Spermatocyte Chromosomes in Some Species of the Family Aplysiidae (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia) [PDF]
SUMMARYCounting spermatocyte bivalents, we have determined the haploid number n = 16 for Aplysia depilans and A. punctata, and n = 17 for A. limacina. We have confirmed n = 17 for Bursatella leachii. Male diakinetic bivalents are probably chiasmatic in all the species examined. The orders Nudibranchia and Notaspidea, possessing haploid values of 13 and
