Systematics and evolution of Demospongiae

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2006
Systematic and evolutionary studies of Demospongiae Sollas, 1885 are a very dynamic field of research. The scientific knowledge pertaining to Demospongiae systematics has been recently assembled in the collective book Systema Porifera. However, a general consensus among spongologists has not yet been achieved regarding this group and the phylogenetic ...

Proposal for a revised classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology, 2015
Demospongiae is the largest sponge class including 81% of all living sponges with nearly 7,000 species worldwide. Systema Porifera (2002) was the result of a large international collaboration to update the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on morphological data. Since then, an increasing number of molecular phylogenetic studies

Shallow Suberitida (Porifera, Demospongiae) from Peru

Zootaxa, 2023
This study describes 81 specimens belonging to Suberitida, collected during the projects Esponjas del Perú (ESPER), Esponjas da América do Sul (EsponjAS) and Semilla UCSUR 2019 (Demospongiae) along the coast of Peru, down to 30 m depth. Using morphological analyses, eight species were identified, one of which is new to science: Halichondria (H ...

Glycosides from Marine Sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae): Structures, Taxonomical Distribution, Biological Activities and Biological Roles

Marine Drugs, 2012
Literature data about glycosides from sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae) are reviewed. Structural diversity, biological activities, taxonomic distribution and biological functions of these natural products are discussed.

Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges. [PDF]

J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.

New Species of Lissodendoryx Topsent, 1892 (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida, Coelosphaeridae) and Myxilla Schmidt, 1862 (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida, Myxillidae) from the Northeast Pacific

Zootaxa, 2019
Collections of sponges by the late Dr. William C. Austin and the authors (N. McDaniel, R. Harbo and B. Ott) provided material for descriptions of new species from two genera of Poecilosclerida for shallow waters of Southern British Columbia, Canada and Northern Washington, USA: Lissodendoryx and Myxilla.

The chromosomal genome sequence of the sponge Cliona cf. orientalis Thiele (1900) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations, 1 not approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Cliona cf. orientalis (Porifera; Demospongiae; Clionaida; Clionaidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 217.17 megabases.

Surveying Biodiverse Coral Reef Ecosystems Across the Tree of Life With Environmental DNA. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT A central challenge in evaluating biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is that each primer set has biases resulting in selective amplification of taxonomic diversity. Here we test 11 primer pairs to assess Central Pacific coral reef diversity in the five kingdoms of marine eukaryotes: Chromista, Fungi, Metazoa, Plantae and
