Revista de revisión por pares de ciencia e ingeniería de carácter multidisciplinar centrada en la investigación y el desarrollo de diversos ámbitos relacionados con la sostenibilidad.
Understand the origin, transport, and character of organic matter entering Antarctic fjords is essential as they are major components of the global carbon cycle and budget. Macromolecular pools of particulate organic matter, bulk organic geochemistry, major and trace elements in surface sediments from Collins Bay were analysed as source indicators....
Calcarea corresponds to ~ 8% of the known sponge species richness and more studies are needed to reveal its diversity, distribution, and biology. Here, we investigated the calcareous sponges from a small area at the littoral of Salvador, Bahia, Northeastern Brazil, that was being considered for the creation of a marine park. Whenever possible, both...
This study describes 81 specimens belonging to Suberitida, collected during the projects Esponjas del Perú (ESPER), Esponjas da América do Sul (EsponjAS) and Semilla UCSUR 2019 (Demospongiae) along the coast of Peru, down to 30 m depth. Using morphological analyses, eight species were identified, one of which is new to science: Halichondria (H.) cr...
En las últimas décadas, las esponjas se han perfilado como la mayor fuente de principios activos de origen animal, con fines farmacéuticos. En el Perú, la información sobre estos animales es incipiente y dispersa, lo cual limita la toma de medidas correctas para su adecuado manejo, aprovechamiento y conservación. El objetivo de este estudio es brin...
The warm temperate Southeast Pacific coast hosts extensive kelp forests that provide protected habitats to benthic organisms such as sponges. To soundly understand the interactions between kelps and sponges, a prior taxonomic identification of the associated species is necessary. This study aimed to report cryptic sponges found associated with the...
El presente Manual de procedimientos para la bioprospección de esponjas marinas del Perú, elaborado por el equipo técnico del subproyecto «Bioprospección de esponjas marinas de la costas central y sur del Perú para la obtención de principios activos», en colaboración con las Organizaciones Sociales de Pescadores Artesanales (OSPAS), la Cooperativa...
Clathrina aurea was considered endemic to Brazil before being recorded from the Pacific (Peru) and the Caribbean Sea. We assessed the morphological variability, phylogeographic pattern and population genetic structure of the species across its geographic range to understand how habitat fragmentation/reduction can affect a widely distributed species...
For more than a hundred years, direct observations of underwater environments have yielded important knowledge on a bewildering array of disciplines. However, scientific diving (SD) took longer to be adequately (if at all) recognised as a professional activity, and hence, regulated as such. Here, the incipient niche of SD in Peru is analysed by usi...
The first taxonomic descriptions of the sponge diversity at El Pelado Marine Protected Area in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador is reported. Tedania (Tedania) ecuadoriensis Jaramillo & Hajdu, sp. nov. is described from its shallow waters. In addition, Callyspongia (Callyspongia) aff. californica (sensu Cruz-Barraza and Carballo 2008; non sensu...
Ciocalypta includes species with finger-shaped fistules emerging from a basal mass and skeleton composed by a central axis and secondary tracts supporting the ectosome. Although worldwide distributed, no species of this genus has been reported from the Eastern Pacific. In this study, a new Ciocalypta is described from shallow waters of the southern...
Marine bioinvasions are potential threats to biodiversity and ecosystems services, being one of the major environmental, human health and socio-economic problems throughout the world. In 2005, a sponge species never reported before to the Atlantic Ocean was detected in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). This species was initially considered new to science an...
Two new species of Amphoriscidae Dendy, 1892 (Porifera Grant, 1836: Calcarea Bowerbank, 1862: Leucosolenida Hartman, 1958) from the northern coast of Peru, Tropical Eastern Pacific, are described integrating molecules and morphology. Leucilla mancoraensis sp. nov. is a tube-shaped sponge with apical osculum, sylleibid aquiferous system, and a skele...
The marine biodiversity program of CENAIM-ESPOL focuses on sessile invertebrates from the “‘El Pelado’ marine reserve”. The present study aims at understanding the different hierarchical levels of biodiversity found at the “El Pelado” and to guide biodiscovery initiatives. Generated biodiversity data were systematized in a database (Darwin Core sta...
Calcareous sponges from the Lesser Antilles were recently inventoried and several specimens morphologically resembling species of the genus Ascoleucetta were collected. Morphological and molecular (C-LSU and ITS) analyses indicated
that these specimens from the Lesser Antilles constituted a new genus. They lack the conspicuous and very characterist...
Florida is among important marine biodiversity areas with high richness and endemism of marine taxa. Despite the economic and scientific importance of the region, knowledge on the diversity and distribution of some groups, such as calcareous sponges, is still reduced and scattered in old literature. In the present work, sponges collected in the Flo...
Calcareous sponges of the subclass Calcinea from Martinique (Caribbean Sea) are presented under an integrative perspective (morphology and DNA: ITS and C-LSU). Eleven species of six genera have been found in Martinique, three of them being new to science: Borojevia crystallina sp. nov., Clathrina delicata sp. nov., and Ernstia adunca sp. nov. Among...
Despite the acknowledged high diversity of sponges in the Caribbean Sea, calcareous sponges from this region have been poorly studied. In order to start filling this gap, in this study we describe the calcareous sponges from Curaçao, Southern Caribbean. The specimens were collected by SCUBA in eight localities along the island of Curaçao and analys...
Although sponges are important components of benthic ecosystems of the Caribbean Sea, their diversity remained poorly investigated in the Lesser Antilles. By organizing a training course in Martinique, we wanted both to promote taxonomy and to provide a first inventory of the sponge diversity on this island. The course was like a naturalist expedit...
Waterproof plates presenting in situ pictures together with visual keys of identification of the most common sponges of the Caribbean Sea.

Guancha tetela was originally described as a species having a peduncle and a skeleton exclusively composed of sagittal triactines. Therefore, according to the most recent phylogeny of Clathrinida, it should be placed in the genus Clathrina. This species was collected on the Northeastern Brazilian coast in 1968 and it was not collected again until 2...
Understanding of evolution and systematics of Calcarea (Porifera) have not yet met a corresponding increase in the knowledge of diversity and distribution of these sponges in several parts of the world. Peru is an emblematic example of this lack of taxonomic knowledge, as only three shallow-water species of sponges have hitherto been reported from...
Most biological groups are still longing for a phylogenetically sound taxonomic organization. In this article, we aimed to verify the consistency of morphological characters in calcarean sponges of the well-known non-monophyletic order Clathrinida using a molecular phylogeny. For this we included 50 species, including six type species, currently as...
El objetivo del trabajo fue comparar de manera cualitativa el contenido gástrico de dos especies de erizos de distribución simpatrida en nuestro litoral: Tetrapygus niger y Caenocentrotus gibbosus.
La menor distancia entre el continente antártico y otro continente se presenta en el Estrecho de Drake, y por tanto no sorprende la mayor afinidad biogeográfica de los poríferos antárticos con los de la fauna Magallánica. Sin embargo no sabemos aun si ocurre también lo recíproco. ¿Cuál es, o cuáles son las principales afinidades observadas en los p...
