Manihinea Lynbeazleyae
''Manihinea lynbeazleyae'' is a genus of deep-water sea sponge in the Theonellidae family, first described by Jane Fromont and Andrzej Pisera in 2011, from a specimen collected in the Perth canyon west of Rottnest Island at a depth of 194–232 m. The species epithet, ''lynbeazleyae'', honours Lyn Beazley Professor Lynda (Lyn) Dent Beazley (born 1944) is a neuroscientist and educator based in Perth, Western Australia. She is currently an Honorary Distinguished Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Western Australia, an ... (at the time Chief Scientist of Western Australia, and a dedicated advocate of taxonomic science and sponge research) Like all members of the class Demospongiae this sponge is hermaphroditic. ''M. lynbeazleyae'' is a deep water tree-like sponge found at between 194 and 232 metres depth on soft sediment. It grows to about 19 cm high and 14 cm wide, and has branches which are 1.5 to 2.5 cm in diameter. It has a b ...

Sea Sponge
Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Sponges were first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the last common ancestor of all animals, making them the sister group of all other animals. Etymology The term ''sponge'' derives from the Ancient Greek word ( 'sponge'). Overview Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellula ...

Animals Described In 1993
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinoderms a ...
