- 1 July 2004
A large collection of clionaid sponges collected in 58 different localities from the Pacific coast of Mexico was studied, and 15 species belonging to four genera were identified. Six species are new… Expand
Short- and long-term patterns of sponge diversity on a rocky tropical coast: evidence of large-scale structuring factors
- J. Carballo, Cristina Vega, +4 authors M. Wilson
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2008
The importance of a long-term ecological perspective is well documented, yet long-term data are not widely available. This paper represents the first quantitative description of sublittoral sponge… Expand
Taxonomy of family Plakinidae (Porifera: Homoscleromorpha) from eastern Pacific coral reefs, through morphology and cox1 and cob mtDNA data
- J. A. Cruz-Barraza, Cristina Vega, J. Carballo
- Biology
- 1 June 2014
Sponges belonging to the class Homoscleromorpha have become a pivotal group to help understand early metazoan evolution. However, their complex systematics and cryptic habitat (e.g. dead coral, or… Expand
