Four replacement names in fossil demosponges (Porifera: Demospongiae)
Revista Brasileira de Paleontologia, 2022 The following replacement names in fossil Demospongiae are proposed: Trinacriarbuscula Ceccolini & Cianferoni nom. nov. = Arbuscula Parona, 1933 nec Bolivar, 1905; Iberogilletia Ceccolini & Cianferoni nom. nov. = Gilletia Lagneau-Herenger, 1962 nec Benderitter, 1923; Teutomastophorus Ceccolini & Cianferoni nom. nov.

The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]
, 2014 The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,
