First records of Geodia demosponges from the New England seamounts, an opportunity to test the use of DNA mini-barcodes on museum specimens

Marine Biodiversity, 2019
We report the first records of the sponge genus Geodia (Demospongiae, Tetractinellida, Geodiidae) from the New England Seamounts and Muir Seamount, at lower bathyal depths.

Barcoding‐Inferred Biodiversity of Shallow‐Water Indo‐Pacific Demosponges

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species ...

The effects of marine eukaryote evolution on phosphorus, carbon and oxygen cycling across the Proterozoic–Phanerozoic transition [PDF]

, 2018
This is the final version of the article. Available from Portland Press via the DOI in this record.A ‘Neoproterozoic oxygenation event’ is widely invoked as a causal factor in animal evolution, and often attributed to abiotic causes such as post-glacial ...

Seasonality in Lipid Content of the Demosponges Halichondria panicea and H. bowerbanki at Two Study Sites in Temperate Danish Waters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
This study relates the lipid content of two marine filter-feeding demosponges, Halichondria panicea and H. bowerbanki to the seasonal availability of their suspended food, mainly free-living bacteria and phytoplankton at two study sites in Danish waters.

Genomic Connectivity and Adaptation Signals of the Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri Across Its Distribution

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge : Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting [PDF]

, 2008
Background Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree.

Moving Beyond Morphology: Genomic Insights Into Evolutionary Histories of Haplosclerid Sponges

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 177-194, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate taxonomic identification is essential for defining species boundaries and understanding biodiversity. However, this remains challenging for groups where morphological character evolution is poorly understood or diagnostic traits are absent.

Sponge Aquaculture Trials in the East-Mediterranean Sea: New Approaches to Earlier Ideas [PDF]

Aquaculture trials were conducted in the East Aegean Sea with Dysidea avara and Chondrosia reniformis to test the possibility of growing these sponges in the vicinity of sea-based fish farms.

Affinities of the family Sollasellidae (Porifera, Demospongiae). II. Molecular evidence [PDF]

, 2007
This is the second part of a revision and re-classification of the demosponge family Sollasellidae, and an example of a successful use of combined morphological and molecular data. Sollasella had been a poorly known, long forgotten taxon, placed incertae

CO I barcoding reveals new clades and radiation patterns of Indo-Pacific sponges of the family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
DNA barcoding is a promising tool to facilitate a rapid and unambiguous identification of sponge species. Demosponges of the order Dictyoceratida are particularly challenging to identify, but are of ecological as well as biochemical importance.Here we ...
