Independent origins of spicules reconcile palaeontological and molecular evidence of the evolutionary history of sponges

Maria Eleonora Rossi, Joseph N. Keating, Nathan James Kenny…·Davide Pisani

The paper reconciles molecular and fossil evidence by showing sponges emerged in the early Ediacaran without spicules, which evolved independently multiple times later.

Image-based ecological assessment of deep-sea sponge, coral and other cnidarian assemblages through a morpho-functional approach

Mélissa Hanafi‐Portier, Sarah Samadi, Paco Cárdenas…·Karine Olu

The paper develops a morpho-functional classification framework to assess deep-sea sponge and cnidarian assemblages using image-based traits, revealing greater spatial variability and environmental associations than traditional taxonomy.
