"Living together apart": the hidden genetic diversity of sponge populations.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2011

Blanquer Andrea, Uriz Maria-J

Abstract excerpt

Intraorganism genetic stability is assumed in most organisms. However, here we show for the first time intraorganism genetic heterogeneity in natural populations of marine sponges. A total of 36 different multilocus genotypes (MLGs) were detected in 13 individuals of Scopalina lophyropoda sampled at 4 distant points within each sponge. All genotypes (showing a mosaic distribution), were transmitted to the...
