Genetic and Morphological Insights Reveal the Hidden and Colorful Diversity in <i>Oscarella</i> Sponges

2024-10-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The identification and classification of new taxa are crucial for understanding biodiversity. However, assigning samples to new taxa requires cautious and rigorous approaches. Historically, taxonomy has heavily relied on morphological traits, which can be subjective and may not always reflect underlying genetic divergence—particularly in organisms with few diagnostic morphological traits. A prim...
