Calcareous sponges of the subclass Calcinea from Martinique (Caribbean Sea) are presented under an integrative perspective (morphology and DNA: ITS C-LSU). Eleven species six genera have been found in Martinique, three them being new to science: Borojevia crystallina sp. nov., Clathrina delicata Ernstia adunca nov. Among these records, four were previously known other Caribbean localities: Arturia vansoesti, insularis, C. mutabilis, Leucaltis clathria. Two Brazilian waters reported for first...
Despite the enormous economic, scientific and strategic value of Brazilian oceanic mid-shelf islands (BOMIs), biological communities these are still poorly known. An example is their fauna calcareous sponges (Porifera: Calcarea), with only six species described up to date. In present study, we analysed Calcinean from Abrolhos Archipelago four five (São Pedro e São Paulo Archipelago, Fernando de Noronha Rocas Atoll, Trindade Island), using both morphological molecular approaches for taxonomy....
Calcareous sponges from the Lesser Antilles were recently inventoried and several specimens morphologically resembling species of genus Ascoleucetta collected. Morphological molecular (C-LSU ITS) analyses indicated that these constituted a new genus. They lack conspicuous very characteristic ornamentation inhalant apertures found in two out three Ascoleucetta, including type A. compressa. In analyses, clustered as an independent lineage, distant clade Based on results, we decided to erect...
In this study we analyze the calcarean sponge diversity of Adriatic Sea, type locality some first described species sponges. Morphological and molecular approaches are combined for taxonomic identification. Our results reveal six new to science provisionally endemic Sea (Ascandra spalatensis sp. nov., Borojevia croatica Leucandra falakra L. spinifera Paraleucilla dalmatica Sycon ancora nov.), one previously known only from Southwestern Atlantic (Clathrina conifera), three already (Ascaltis...
Abstract Aim Knowledge gaps and sampling bias can lead to underestimations of species richness distortions in the known distribution species. The goal this study is identify potential biases marine organisms at Western Atlantic Ocean, determine their causes assess its effect on biodiversity metrics. We tested interference with representation environmental conditions, potentially affecting model predictions. Location Ocean. Methods This compiled data online institutional databases. analysis...
Understanding of evolution and systematics Calcarea (Porifera) have not yet met a corresponding increase in the knowledge diversity distribution these sponges several parts world. Peru is an emblematic example this lack taxonomic knowledge, as only three shallow-water species hitherto been reported from its 3000 km coast. With aim studying Peru, integrative taxonomy approach (morphology, molecules, biogeography) was used order to achieve sound identifications. The first findings Peruvian...
Abstract Aim Understanding the factors determining marine community variations is important for biogeography and conservation. Beta diversity a metric mapping species composition between communities regionalizing biota. Ecoregions are commonly used regionalization, but their empirical testing has been limited. Our aim to map in Western Atlantic, identify variables related these variations, regionalize areas based on distribution. Additionally, we test whether currently proposed ecoregions...
