First Report on Chitin in a Non-Verongiid Marine Demosponge: The Mycale euplectellioides Case [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2018
Sponges (Porifera) are recognized as aquatic multicellular organisms which developed an effective biochemical pathway over millions of years of evolution to produce both biologically active secondary metabolites and biopolymer-based skeletal structures ...

A new record of genus Mycale (Poecilosclerida: Mycalidae) from Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2017
A marine sponge, Mycale (Mycale) laevis (Carter 1882), is newly reported from Korean sea waters. The specimen was collected by SCUBA diving in July 2016 from Gageocho, Gageodo, Korea.

Sponging up diversity: Evaluating metabarcoding performance for a taxonomically challenging phylum within a complex cryptobenthic community

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 239-253, January 2022., 2022
We evaluated the performance of COI metabarcoding in detecting marine cryptic sponges, which are notoriously difficult to identify using both morphological and molecular methods. These results confirmed the need for discretion in sponge molecular operational taxonomic unit assignments using universal degenerate barcoding primers that target a short ...

Morphological and molecular evidence of cryptic speciation in sympatric colour morphotypes of Mycale (Carmia) cecilia (Porifera: Poecilosclerida) from the Mexican Pacific

Scientia Marina
Identifying cryptic species is pivotal for understanding marine biodiversity and optimizing strategies for its conservation. A robust understanding of poriferan diversity is a complex endeavour. It has also been extremely hampered by the high phenotypic

Multi‐Taxon Predictions of Deep‐Sea Corals and Sponges From Stacked Species Distribution Models in the United States West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone and Relation to Trawl Closure Zones

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Abundant species distribution models (SDMs) of deep‐sea corals and sponges (DSCS) allow one to make community‐level predictions about DSCS. Pairing that with the conservation information of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) due to their sensitivity to seafloor trawling, one can assess the efficacy of established seafloor protections ...

A novel target‐enriched multilocus assay for sponges (Porifera): Red Sea Haplosclerida (Demospongiae) as a test case

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract With declining biodiversity worldwide, a better understanding of species diversity and their relationships is imperative for conservation and management efforts. Marine sponges are species‐rich ecological key players on coral reefs, but their species diversity is still poorly understood.
