In this study, we analysed the population genetics of two morphologically highly similar deep-sea sponge clades (Phakellia hirondellei and the 'Topsentia-and-Petromica (TaP)' clade) at three locations in the Cantabrian Sea. Sponge taxonomy was assessed by spicule analyses, as well as by 18S sequencing and COI sequencing. The corresponding host microbiome was analysed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In addition we set up an oceanographic modelling framework, for which we used seawater flow cytometry data (derived from bottom depths of CTD casts) as ground-truthing data.
