CO I Barcoding Reveals New Clades and Radiation Patterns of Indo-Pacific Sponges of the Family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) [PDF]
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 ...

Embryo development of Corticium candelabrum (Demospongiae: Homosclerophorida) [PDF]
Abstract. Corticium candelabrum is a homosclerophorid sponge widespread along the rocky Mediterranean sublittoral. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to describe the gametes and larval development. The species is hermaphroditic. Oocytes and spermatocytes are clearly differentiated in April.

Rooted phylogenetic tree of Demospongiae.
Posterior majority-rule tree was obtained from the analysis of concatenated mitochondrial amino acid sequences (3,633 positions) under the CAT+GTR+Γ model in the PhyloBayes-MPI program. Mitochondrial coding sequences from nine species of Homoscleromorpha

A Metataxonomic Approach Reveals Diversified Bacterial Communities in Antarctic Sponges
Marine sponges commonly host a repertoire of bacterial-associated organisms, which significantly contribute to their health and survival by producing several anti-predatory molecules. Many of these compounds are produced by sponge-associated bacteria and

The mitochondrial genomes of sponges provide evidence for multiple invasions by Repetitive Hairpin-forming Elements (RHE) [PDF]
Background: The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of sponges possess a variety of features, which appear to be intermediate between those of Eumetazoa and non-metazoan opisthokonts.
