HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Joseph R. Pawlik and collaborators from the Department of Biology and Marine Biology and Center for Marine Science, University of North Carolina have published the article: Unusual Morphotypes of the Giant Barrel Sponge off the Coast of Barbados, in the Journal: Diversity 2021, 13, 663. of /2021/

SUMMARY

Phylogenetic analyses revealed interesting examples of substantial morphological variations within sponge species, and examples of cryptic species with apparently identical morphologies. Clear morphological differences between species are helpful to researchers when visually identifying sponges, particularly when choosing experimental subjects or compiling benthic survey data . . .
