Journal ArticleDOI

Does cosmopolitanism result from overconservative systematics? a case study using the marine sponge chondrilla nucula.

TL;DR: The results reject the null hypothesis of cosmopolitanism of C. nucula and indicate that the putative worldwide distribution of some marine sponges, and possibly many other benthic invertebrates, may be the result of overly conservative systematics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eurythoe complanata (Polychaeta: Amphinomidae), the ‘cosmopolitan’ fireworm, consists of at least three cryptic species

TL;DR: COI sequences between Pacific and Atlantic lineages were much more divergent than those of other transisthmian invertebrates, indicating their split before the Panama Isthmus closure or a faster evolutionary rate of COI for this species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryptic speciation in a high gene flow scenario in the oviparous marine sponge Chondrosia reniformis

TL;DR: This is the first report of genetic homogeneity in a sponge species over such a large geographical distance, and shows that C. reniformis is not conspecific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical systematics of sibling sympatric species of Clathrina (Porifera: Calcarea)

TL;DR: It is concluded that morphological criteria of spicules and general organization of the skeleton are unreliable for the classification of Clathrina, and comparison with specimens belonging to another morphologically well defined species indicated that genetic distances did not correlate with the observed grade of morphological differences.
