Tetractinellida
Tetractinellida is an order of sea sponges belonging to the Class Demospongiae. First described in 1876, this order received a new description in 2012 and replaced the two orders Astrophorida and Spirophorida, which then became sub-orders as Astrophorina and Spirophorina.

Michelle Kelly (marine Scientist)
Michelle Kelly (born 1961), also known as Michelle Kelly-Borges, is a New Zealand scientist who specialises in sponges, their chemistry, their evolution, taxonomy, systematics, and ecology. Early life and education Born in Otago in 1961, Kelly lived in Papua New Guinea with her family from 1970 to 1980, and was educated at Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu, The Correspondence School. From 1980, she studied at the University of Auckland, and completed a Bachelor of Science degree in 1983, and a Master of Science with honours in 1987. Her masterate research, supervised by Patricia Bergquist, was an investigation of the systematics and ecology of the sponges of Bootless Inlet, Motupore Island in Papua New Guinea. The title of that thesis was ''Systematics and ecology of the sponges of Motupore Island, Papua New Guinea''. She then earned a PhD at the University of Auckland in 1991 under the joint supervision of Patricia and Peter Bergquist, with a thesis entitled, ''The order Hadromerida (Po ...

Paco Cárdenas
Paco is a Spanish nickname for Francisco. According to folk etymology, the nickname has its origins in Saint Francis of Assisi, who was the father of the Franciscan order; his name was written in Latin by the order as ''Pater Communitatis'' (father of the community); hence "Paco" was supposedly obtained by taking the first syllable of each word. People with the nickname Paco include *Paco Alcácer (born 1993), Spanish footballer *Paco Arespacochaga (born 1971), Portuguese singer *Paco Cabanes Pastor (1954–2021), Valencian pilota player * Paco Calderón (born 1959), Mexican political cartoonist * Paco Craig (born 1965), American football player *Paco de Lucía (1947–2014), Spanish flamenco guitarist and composer * Paco Decina (born 1955), Italian choreographer *Francisco Estévez (born 1945), Spanish composer *Francisco Gento (born 1933), Spanish footballer *Paco Godia (1921–1990), Spanish racing driver *Paco González (born 1966), Spanish sport journalist *Paco Herrera (bor ...

Sea Sponge
Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Sponges were first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the last common ancestor of all animals, making them the sister group of all other animals. Etymology The term ''sponge'' derives from the Ancient Greek word ( 'sponge'). Overview Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, he ...

Monotypic Sponge Genera
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda ...

Animals Described In 2016
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echino ...
