Description

FIGURE 24. Higher taxa (ordinal and supraordinal) composition of South East Caribbean deep-water sponges (100 m and deeper) compared with that of shallow-water sponges (above 100 m) reported from Curaçao and Bonaire, expressed as percentage of total number of sponge species of deep-water (145 spp.) and shallow-water fauna (209 spp.). Several small ordinal taxa have been combined to allow visual comparison of the results: Halichondrida + Agelasida, Dictyoceratida + Dendroceratida + Halisarcida + Chondrosida (dubbed Kerato-Verongida). The deep-water sponge data are the combined data of Bonaire, Klein Curaçao (from present study), Curaçao (from Reed & Pomponi 2001) and Barbados (from Van Soest & Stentoft 1988). The shallow-water data were obtained from Van Soest 1978, 1980, 1981, 1984a & b, 2009; Díaz et al. 1987; Kobluk & Van Soest 1989; Meesters et al. 1991; De Weerdt 2000; Reed & Pomponi 2001; Van Soest & De Weerdt 2001; Van Soest et al. 2010; Parra-Velandia et al. 2014.
