Soft sponges with tricky tree: On the phylogeny of dictyoceratid sponges
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 27-40, February 2020., 2020 Dictyoceratid sponge phylogeny was reconstructed with ITS and 28S (C‐region) rRNA data and compared with CO1, 18S, and 28S (D3‐D5) data. Type material was included, where possible. Thorectidae and its subfamily Thorectinae are paraphyletic. Phyllospongiinae are sister to Spongiidae.
