  • Inferred relationships among major sponge lineages (Demospongiae + Hexactinellida sister to Calcarea + Homoscleromorpha) are consistent with morphology and most other molecular analyses that recovered monophyletic sponges.

    “Inferred relationships among major sponge lineages (i.e., Demospongiae + Hexactinellida sister to Calcarea + Homoscleromorpha) were consistent with morphology (27,28) and most other molecular analyses that have recovered monophyletic sponges (datasets 1-27 in Figs. 2 and 3 and Figs.S1-S5) (4, 5, 8, 9, 28-30).”

    From Error, signal, and the placement of Ctenophora sister to all other animals (2015) · cites this paper as [28]

    The “New insights from molecular phylogenies/phylogenomics studies” section reports molecular support for a Homoscleromorpha–Calcarea sister relationship. The “Linnaean classification of Homoscleromorpha” section says sponge monophyly is consistent with morphological characters, and the Discussion identifies a morphological feature shared by Homoscleromorpha and Calcarea. These passages do not establish the claimed Demospongiae–Hexactinellida sister pairing or the full relationship between the two pairs. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
