Phylogenomics Revives Traditional Views on Deep Animal Relationships
- H. Philippe, Romain Derelle, +17 authors M. Manuel
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 28 April 2009
The origin of many of the defining features of animal body plans, such as symmetry, nervous system, and the mesoderm, remains shrouded in mystery because of major uncertainty regarding the emergence… Expand
Molecular phylogeny of Demospongiae: implications for classification and scenarios of character evolution.
- C. Borchiellini, C. Chombard, M. Manuel, E. Alivon, J. Vacelet, N. Boury-Esnault
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 September 2004
An analysis of the phylogenetic relationships of the 13 orders of Demospongiae, based on 18S and C1, D1 and C2 domains of 28S rRNA (for, respectively, 26 and 32 taxa) has been performed. The class… Expand
Assessing the complex sponge microbiota: core, variable and species-specific bacterial communities in marine sponges
- S. Schmitt, Peter Tsai, +10 authors M. W. Taylor
- Biology, Medicine
- The ISME Journal
- 1 March 2012
Marine sponges are well known for their associations with highly diverse, yet very specific and often highly similar microbiota. The aim of this study was to identify potential bacterial… Expand
Sponge paraphyly and the origin of Metazoa
- C. Borchiellini, M. Manuel, E. Alivon, N. Boury-Esnault, J. Vacelet, Y. Le Parco
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 1 January 2001
In order to allow critical evaluation of the interrelationships between the three sponge classes, and to resolve the question of mono‐ or paraphyly of sponges (Porifera), we used the polymerase chain… Expand
Deep metazoan phylogeny: when different genes tell different stories.
- Tetyana Nosenko, Fabian Schreiber, +10 authors G. Wörheide
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 April 2013
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have produced a plethora of controversial hypotheses regarding the patterns of diversification of non-bilaterian animals. To unravel the causes for the patterns of… Expand
Global Diversity of Sponges (Porifera)
- R. V. van Soest, N. Boury-Esnault, +7 authors J. Hooper
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 27 April 2012
With the completion of a single unified classification, the Systema Porifera (SP) and subsequent development of an online species database, the World Porifera Database (WPD), we are now equipped to… Expand
Sponge phylogeny, animal monophyly, and the origin of the nervous system: 18S rRNA evidence
- T. Cavalier-smith, M. Allsopp, E. E. Chao, N. Boury-Esnault, J. Vacelet
- Biology
- 1 November 1996
We sequenced 18S rRNA genes of a calcareous sponge, Clathrina cerebrum, a demosponge, Axinella polypoides, and a zoanthid cnidarian, Parazoanthus axinellae. Our phylogenetic analysis supports the… Expand
Phylogeny and evolution of calcareous sponges: monophyly of calcinea and calcaronea, high level of morphological homoplasy, and the primitive nature of axial symmetry.
- M. Manuel, C. Borchiellini, E. Alivon, Y. Le Parco, J. Vacelet, N. Boury-Esnault
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 June 2003
Because calcareous sponges are triggering renewed interest with respect to basal metazoan evolution, a phylogenetic framework of their internal relationships is needed to clarify the evolutionary… Expand
Molecular Phylogeny Restores the Supra-Generic Subdivision of Homoscleromorph Sponges (Porifera, Homoscleromorpha)
- Eve Gazave, P. Lapébie, +5 authors C. Borchiellini
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 14 December 2010
Background Homoscleromorpha is the fourth major sponge lineage, recently recognized to be distinct from the Demospongiae. It contains <100 described species of exclusively marine sponges that have… Expand

- Biology of the cell
- 1996
Summry— Basement membrane structures, or their main component, type IV collagen, have been detected in all multicellular animal species, except sponges. We cancel this exception by the demonstration… Expand
