    Molecular Phylogenetic Evaluation of Classification and Scenarios of Character Evolution in Calcareous Sponges (Porifera, Class Calcarea) Oliver Voigt1, Eilika Wu¨ lfing1, Gert Wo¨ rheide1,2,3* 1 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨tMu¨nchen, Mu¨nchen, Germany, 2 GeoBio-Center LMU, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t Mu¨nchen, Mu¨nchen, Germany, 3 Bayerische Staatssammlung fu¨r Pala¨ontologie und Geologie, Mu¨nchen, Germany Abstract Calcareous sponges (Phylum Porifera, Class Calcarea) are known to be taxonomically difficult. Previous molecular studies have revealed many discrepancies between classically recognized taxa and the observed relationships at the order, family and genus levels; these inconsistencies question underlying hypotheses regarding the evolution of certain morphological characters. Therefore, we extended the available taxa and character set by sequencing the complete small subunit (SSU) rDNA and the almost complete large subunit (LSU) rDNA of additional key species and complemented this dataset by substantially increasing the length of available LSU sequences. Phylogenetic analyses provided new hypotheses about the relationships of Calcarea and about the evolution of certain morphological characters. We tested our phylogeny against competing phylogenetic hypotheses presented by previous classification systems. Our data reject the current order-level classification by again finding non-monophyletic Leucosolenida, Clathrinida and Murrayonida. In the subclass Calcinea, we recovered a clade that includes all species with a cortex, which is largely consistent with the previously proposed order Leucettida. Other orders that had been rejected in the current system were not found, but could not be rejected in our tests either. We found several additional families and genera polyphyletic: the families Leucascidae and Leucaltidae and the genus Leucetta in Calcinea, and in Calcaronea the family Amphoriscidae and the genus Ute.

  • Increased Taxon Sampling Provides New Insights Into the Phylogeny and Evolution of the Subclass Calcaronea (Porifera, Calcarea)
    Organisms Diversity & Evolution (2018) 18:279–290 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13127-018-0368-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Increased taxon sampling provides new insights into the phylogeny and evolution of the subclass Calcaronea (Porifera, Calcarea) Adriana Alvizu1 & Mari Heggernes Eilertsen1 & Joana R. Xavier1 & Hans Tore Rapp1,2 Received: 6 December 2017 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 /Published online: 12 June 2018 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2018 Abstract Calcaronean sponges are acknowledged to be taxonomically difficult, and generally, molecular data does not support the current morphology-based classification. In addition, molecular markers that have been successfully employed in other sponge taxa (e.g., COI mtDNA) have proven challenging to amplify due to the characteristics of calcarean mitochondrial genomes. A short fragment of the 28S rRNA gene (C-region) was recently proposed as the most phylogenetically informative marker to be used as a DNA barcode for calcareous sponges. In this study, the C-region and a fragment of the 18S rRNA gene were sequenced for a wide range of calcareous taxa, mainly from the subclass Calcaronea. The resulting dataset includes the most comprehensive taxon sampling of Calcaronea to date, and the inclusion of multiple specimens per species allowed us to evaluate the performance of both markers, as barcoding markers. 18S proved to be highly conserved within Calcaronea and does not have sufficient signal to resolve phylogenetic relationships within the subclass. Although the C-region does not exhibit a Bproper^ barcoding gap, it provides good phylogenetic resolution for calcaronean sponges. The resulting phylogeny supports previous findings that the current classification of the subclass Calcaronea is highly artificial, and with high levels of homoplasy.

  • Calcareous Sponge Genomes Reveal Complex Evolution of A-Carbonic

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:230 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/230 Voigt et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:230 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/230 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Calcareous sponge genomes reveal complex evolution of α-carbonic anhydrases and two key biomineralization enzymes Oliver Voigt1*, Marcin Adamski2, Kasia Sluzek1 and Maja Adamska2* Abstract Background: Calcium carbonate biominerals form often complex and beautiful skeletal elements, including coral exoskeletons and mollusc shells. Although the ability to generate these carbonate structures was apparently gained independently during animal evolution, it sometimes involves the same gene families. One of the best-studied of these gene families comprises the α- carbonic anhydrases (CAs), which catalyse the reversible transformation of CO2 − to HCO3 and fulfill many physiological functions. Among Porifera –the oldest animal phylum with the ability to produce skeletal elements– only the class of calcareous sponges can build calcitic spicules, which are the extracellular products of specialized cells, the sclerocytes. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms of their synthesis, but inhibition studies suggest an essential role of CAs. In order to gain insight into the evolution and function of CAs in biomineralization of a basal metazoan species, we determined the diversity and expression of CAs in the calcareous sponges Sycon ciliatum and Leucosolenia complicata by means of genomic screening, RNA-Seq and RNA in situ hybridization expression analysis. Active biomineralization was located with calcein-staining. Results: We found that the CA repertoires of two calcareous sponge species are strikingly more complex than those of other sponges.

Zoosystema 22 (2) : 203-263. ABSTRACT A revision of all the genera of the subclass Calcaronea (Porifera, Calcarea) is given. In addition to the two previously described orders, Leucosoleniida Hartman, 1958 emend. and Lithonida Vacelet, 1981, we recognize a third one: the Baeriida. The order Leucosoleniida includes nine families, one of which is new (the Jenkinidae), and 42 genera of which four are new (Breitfussia, Leucandrilla, Polejaevia and Syconessa). The order Lithonida includes two families and six genera. The order Baeriida includes three fami- lies of which two are new (the Baeriidae and the Trichogypsiidae), and eight genera. The Leucosoleniida seem to have evolved from the olynthus grade, a form that is probably present in the early stages of ontogenesis of all Leucosoleniida and subsists at the adult stage in Leucosolenia. The Leucosoleniida comprises a diverse group with several pathways of progres- sing complexity of form, starting with sponges of a simple sycettid organiza- tion and leading to sponges with a complex aquiferous system and skeleton.

The division of Calcarea into the subtaxa Calcinea and Calcaronea is well established by now, but their internal relationships remain largely unresolved. Here, we estimate phylogenetic relationships within Calcarea in a Bayesian framework, using full-length 18S and partial 28S ribosomal DNA sequences. Both genes were analyzed separately and in combination and were further partitioned by stem and loop regions, the former being modelled to take non-independence of paired sites into account. By substantially increasing taxon sampling, we show that most of the traditionally recognized supraspeciWc taxa within Calcinea and Calcaronea are not monophyletic, challenging the existing classiWcation
