• A molecularly based phylogeny reconstruction of mushroom corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) with taxonomic consequences and evolutionary implications for life history traits (2011, background): “…taxonomic levels, analyses combining molecular with microstructural and micromorphological characters prove to be more helpful in our understanding of the scleractinian evolution (Stolarski and Roniewicz, 2001, Benzoni et al., 2007, 2010; Budd and Stolarski, 2009; Budd et al., 2010, present study).”
• The new systematics of scleractinia: Integrating molecular and morphological evidence (2016, background): “Many molecular (Huang et al. 2009, 2011; Benzoni et al. 2011; Arrigoni et al. 2012; Schwartz et al. 2012) and morphological (Budd and Smith 2005; Budd and Stolarski 2009, 2011) studies identified problematic taxa and highlighted phylogenetically informative characters— including molecular markers,…”
• A phylogeny reconstruction of the Dendrophylliidae (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) based on molecular and micromorphological criteria, and its ecological implications (2014, background): “…reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships among shallow-water scleractinians (Cairns1984b, 1997, 2001; Hoeksema 1989, 1993a; Wallace et al. 1991; Wallace 1999) were largely uninformative and prompted the quest for alternatives (Benzoni et al. 2007, 2011, 2012a,b; Budd & Stolarski 2009, 2011).”
• The name game: morpho‐molecular species boundaries in the genus Psammocora (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) (2010, background): “However, recent evidence seems to indicate that dimensions at the corallite level, rather than the corallum level, are the most informative and also show the best correlation with molecular phylogenies (Stefani et al., 2008a; Flot et al., 2008; Budd & Stolarski, 2009).”
