Sponges are notoriously difficult to understand in evolutionary biology terms. I think this paper is a big step forward :

Independent origins of spicules reconcile paleontological and molecular evidence of sponge evolutionary history
Sponges have a cryptic Ediacaran history because ancestral sponges were soft-bodied and had low fossilization potential.

Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in
@natecoevo.nature.com
. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta:

Early sponges lacked [mineralised] skeletons. New paper led by M. Eleonora Rossi. Great to have contributed alongside colleagues from
@bristolpalaeo.bsky.social
,
@nhm-london.bsky.social
and
@mncn-csic.bsky.social
. Read it here:
