Abstract

We provide a synthesis of a workshop on sponge population genetics and phylogeography, held at the 6th International Sponge Conference in Rapallo. The main issues discussed were: sponge population structure and larval dispersal, whether the high levels of gene variation observed in allozymes occur with other molecular markers, and the development of novel markers. Current data for microevolutionary processes in sponges lag behind other more well-studied marine taxa in some areas, especially regarding the development and application of up-to-date molecular markers. Some of the pertinent problems were identified and several areas of innovative future research approaches are outlined.
