Abstract: The marine sponge of the genus Geodia, Jaspis, Rhabdastrella, and Stelletta are characterized chemically by a variety of isomalabaricane triterpenes. This class of compounds drew spotlights in marine lead discovery due to their profound anti-proliferative properties. Further research on Citation: Lai, K.-H.; Huang, Z.-H.; exploring its chemical diversity led to the identifications of two new isomalabaricane-type triterpenes El-Shazly, M.; Peng, B.-R.; Wei, W.-C.; rhabdastin H (1) and rhabdastin I (2).

P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

  • Proposal for a Revised Classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3*
    Morrow and Cárdenas Frontiers in Zoology (2015) 12:7 DOI 10.1186/s12983-015-0099-8 DEBATE Open Access Proposal for a revised classification of the Demospongiae (Porifera) Christine Morrow1 and Paco Cárdenas2,3* Abstract Background: Demospongiae is the largest sponge class including 81% of all living sponges with nearly 7,000 species worldwide. Systema Porifera (2002) was the result of a large international collaboration to update the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on morphological data. Since then, an increasing number of molecular phylogenetic studies have considerably shaken this taxonomic framework, with numerous polyphyletic groups revealed or confirmed and new clades discovered. And yet, despite a few taxonomical changes, the overall framework of the Systema Porifera classification still stands and is used as it is by the scientific community. This has led to a widening phylogeny/classification gap which creates biases and inconsistencies for the many end-users of this classification and ultimately impedes our understanding of today’s marine ecosystems and evolutionary processes. In an attempt to bridge this phylogeny/classification gap, we propose to officially revise the higher taxa Demospongiae classification. Discussion: We propose a revision of the Demospongiae higher taxa classification, essentially based on molecular data of the last ten years. We recommend the use of three subclasses: Verongimorpha, Keratosa and Heteroscleromorpha. We retain seven (Agelasida, Chondrosiida, Dendroceratida, Dictyoceratida, Haplosclerida, Poecilosclerida, Verongiida) of the 13 orders from Systema Porifera. We recommend the abandonment of five order names (Hadromerida, Halichondrida, Halisarcida, lithistids, Verticillitida) and resurrect or upgrade six order names (Axinellida, Merliida, Spongillida, Sphaerocladina, Suberitida, Tetractinellida). Finally, we create seven new orders (Bubarida, Desmacellida, Polymastiida, Scopalinida, Clionaida, Tethyida, Trachycladida).

  • Revision of Rhabdastrella Distincta (Thiele, 1900)
    Revision of Rhabdastrella distincta (Thiele, 1900) A re-description of the holotype and description of two recently re-collected specimens Anne Twaalfhoven (10149996) Biology BSc Thesis, July 2016 University of Amsterdam: dr. P. (Peter) Roessingh, [email protected] Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden: dr. N.J. (Nicole) de Voogd, [email protected] Abstract Sponge taxonomy is largely founded upon outdated descriptions originating from pre-modern times. Luckily, the material that these descriptions are based upon is often still available in Natural History Collections. In this article two sponge samples collected in 2009 from Ternate, Indonesia are compared to the type material of Rhabdastrella distincta. The holotype was described in 1896 by Thiele (1900). This article reviews the material for the first time ever since. The two recently collected samples are the first records of the species since its description. Descriptions of all three samples are based upon external morphology, skeletal structure, spicule measurements and spicule analysis by electron microscopy. It is revealed that, contrary to previous descriptions, the spherasters of R. distincta are stubbed with spines. Consequently, it is argued that the relation of R. distincta to its fellow species should be reconsidered. Euasters of R. distincta POR 5341 Twaalfhoven, July 2016, UvA Introduction When researching environmental change and biodiversity, Natural History Collections (NHC’s) can be of high value. Former taxonomists collected and described large collections of specimens that now serve as the foundation of our current knowledge on marine biodiversity (Jackson, 2001; Hooper & van Soest, 2002; Hoeksema et al, 2011). For reef systems, systematic ecological observations and methodological sampling started no earlier than the 1930’s (Jackson, 2001), and most recent surveys only encompass relatively short timespans (Jackson, 2001; van der Meij et al., 2010; Lister, 2011; Hoeksema et al., 2011).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Phymaraphiniidae Schrammen 1924 (Porifera: Astrophorina) is a family of lithistid demosponges that has received little attention in the past decades. The systematic problems within this family have not been addressed for a long time due to the absence of new records and material. The genus Exsuperantia Özdikmen 2009 was first described by Schmidt (1879) as Rimella to allocate the species Rimella clava, found in the Caribbean. In 1892, Topsent found what he thought to be the same species described by Schmidt in the Azores, and synonymized it with Racodiscula clava, as he thought this species belonged to the family Theonellidae Lendenfeld 1903. However, Rimella and Racodiscula belong to distinct families: Rimella to Phymaraphiniidae, and Racodiscula to Theonellidae. Due to the fact that the genus Rimella was already preoccupied by a gastropod, it was renamed as Exsuperantia.

  • Porifera, Demospongiaep) Reveals an Unexpected High Level of Spicule Homoplasy
    Molecular Phylogeny of the Astrophorida (Porifera, Demospongiaep) Reveals an Unexpected High Level of Spicule Homoplasy Paco Ca´rdenas1*¤, Joana R.

Systema Porifera currently includes five families in this order: Ancorinidae, Calthropellidae, Geodiidae, Pachastrellidae and Thrombidae. To date, molecular phylogenetic studies including Astrophorida species are scarce and offer limited sampling. Phylogenetic relationships within this order are therefore for the most part unknown and hypotheses based on morphology largely untested. Astrophorida taxa have very diverse spicule sets that make them a model of choice to investigate spicule evolution. Methodology/Principal Findings: With a sampling of 153 specimens (9 families, 29 genera, 89 species) covering the deep- and shallow-waters worldwide, this work presents the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the Astrophorida,
