Acanthotetilla seychellensis
Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Porifera
- Class: Demospongiae
- Order: Tetractinellida
- Family: Tetillidae
- Genus: Acanthotetilla
- Species: Acanthotetilla seychellensis
Visual Description
Available records in TreeOfLife-200M (image data sourced via the Naturalis Biodiversity Center) indicate that Acanthotetilla seychellensis is represented by a preserved tetillid sponge specimen in a museum collection (invertebrate zoology).
Systematics and notes
Phylogenetic reassessments of Antarctic Tetillidae within Tetractinellida (Demospongiae) show that species delimitation can be discordant between morphology and genetic differentiation when commonly used Tetillidae marker sets are applied. This implies that some morphologically distinct taxa may show limited genetic resolution with the tested loci/partitions, so taxonomic boundaries should be interpreted with caution when relying on a narrow marker set.
