Title
Do the same sponge species live on both the Caribbean and eastern Pacific sides of the Isthmus of Panama?
Abstract
Some species of shallow water sponges appear to occur on both the Caribbean and eastern Pacific sides of the Isthmus of Panama. Analysis of four of these species by traditional taxonomic techniques, including measurement of spicules and examination of skeletal construction, combined with ecological information, such as habitat distribution and palatability to fish predators, fails to distinguish between sponges living in one ocean from those living in the other.
