What is Verongid Sponge Phylogenetics Study about?
This study compares phylogenetic analyses of 11 species of marine sponges in the order Verongida using both morphological and molecular data. The molecular phylogeny based on nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences was well resolved from the ordinal to species level, while the morphological phylogeny was not well resolved below the ordinal level due to few informative characters and potential character plasticity. Analysis of spongin fiber characteristics found high variability within and among species, limiting th
