Journal ArticleDOI
Proposal for a revised classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera)
Christine Morrow,Paco Cárdenas +1 more
TL;DR: The deletion of polyphyletic taxa, the use of resurrected or new names for new clades and the proposal of new family groupings will improve the comparability of studies in a wide range of scientific fields using sponges as their object of study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six major steps in animal evolution: are we derived sponge larvae?
TL;DR: A review of the old and new literature on animal morphology/embryology and molecular studies has led to the following scenario for the early evolution of the metazoans as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of Demospongiae: implications for classification and scenarios of character evolution
Carole Borchiellini,Catherine Chombard,Michaël Manuel,Eliane Alivon,Jean Vacelet,Nicole Boury-Esnault +5 more
TL;DR: The topology derived from molecular data provides a basis for proposing a new classification of Demospongiae s.s., and suggests a reverse polarity of some characters, with respect to traditional conceptions: viviparity, presence of monaxon spicules and of spongin appear to be ancestral, whereas ovip parity, and presence of tetraxon spicule appear as derived characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of support for order-level monophyly and interrelationships within the class Demospongiae using partial data from the large subunit rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I.
TL;DR: Every data partition supports the monophyly of a clade that includes the order Agelasida, some members of the genus Axinella, and two taxa tentatively identified as belonging to the orders Hadromerida and Halichondrida.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing ordinal relationships in the Demospongiae using mitochondrial genomic data.
TL;DR: This work assembled a mitochondrial genomic dataset comprising all orders of demosponges that includes 17 new and five previously published complete demosponge mitochondrial genomes and assembled a modified method for the analysis of gene order data that works well when translocation of tRNA genes are more frequent than other rearrangements.

Treatise on invertebrate paleontology
TL;DR: Treatise on invertebrate paleontology as mentioned in this paper, a Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology and its relationship with invertebrates, is the most relevant work to ours.
The fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma
TL;DR: The general character of “The Fauna of British India” is so well known, and has been so frequently commented on, that it is only necessary to say that the present half-volume is similar to those which have preceded it, and that the high character of the series is fully maintained.

The Biomarker Guide: Interpreting Molecular Fossils in Petroleum and Ancient Sediments
Kenneth E. Peters,J.M. Moldowan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive discussion of biomarkers and how they are used with other geochemical methods to reduce the risk associated with exploration for petroleum is provided, together with guidelines for the use of selected parameters.
