DOI: 10.1139/gen-2018-0098
Abstract: African sponges, particularly freshwater sponges, are understudied relative to demosponges in most other geographical regions. Freshwater sponges (Spongillida) likely share a common ancestor; however, their evolutionary history, particularly during their radiation into endemic and allegedly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-018-1118-0
Abstract: BackgroundThe Wnt signaling pathway is uniquely metazoan and used in many processes during development, including the formation of polarity and body axes. In sponges, one of the earliest diverging animal groups, Wnt pathway genes have… read more here.
