Habitat heterogeneity over multiple scales supports dense and diverse megafaunal communities on a northeast Pacific ridge

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 377-392, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are highly heterogeneous, varying across scales of a few meters to entire ocean basins. Understanding the relationship between environmental variability and species distribution is essential for area‐based management and conservation.

Discovery of missing link between demosponges and hexactinellids confirms palaeontological model of sponge evolution

, 2017
The two major extant groups of siliceous sponges, Demospongiae and Hexactinellida, are generally regarded as sister groups forming the clade Silicea, although the nature of their last common ancestor is uncertain.

Divergence times in demosponges (Porifera): first insights from new mitogenomes and the inclusion of fossils in a birth-death clock model

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Approximately 80% of all described extant sponge species belong to the class Demospongiae. Yet, despite their diversity and importance, accurate divergence times are still unknown for most demosponge clades.
