The new systematics of scleractinia: Integrating molecular and morphological evidence (2016, background): “2011, 2013) has led to more detailed subcorallite observations (Cuif et al. 2003; Budd et al. 2012; Kitahara et al. 2012, 2013; Arrigoni et al. 2014a; Huang et al. 2014b; Janiszewska et al. 2015).”
Microplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals (2015, background): “Coral collection and experimental setup Fragments of Dipsastrea pallida (previously classified as Favia pallida, see Budd et al. 2012) were collected from various sites around Orpheus Island in the central region of the GBR (18°31′S 146°23′E) during April and May 2013 from an average depth of ~5 m…”
Blind to morphology: genetics identifies several widespread ecologically common species and few endemics among Indo‐Pacific cauliflower corals (Pocillopora, Scleractinia) (2013, background): “Most of these genetic studies advocate significant reorganization in the systematics of scleractinians at all taxonomic ranks (Budd et al., 2010, 2012; Kitahara et al., 2010; Kerr et al., 2011).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “…sponges, stony corals, and zoanthids) and 5 predominant stony coral species (Colpophyllia natans, Orbicella annularis complex [formerly Montastraea {Budd et al. 2012} and in - cludes O. annularis, O. faveolata, and O. franksi; hereafter referred to as O. annularis], M. cavernosa, Porites…”
A phylogeny reconstruction of the Dendrophylliidae (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) based on molecular and micromorphological criteria, and its ecological implications (2014, background): “…2010, 2011, 2012a,b; Budd & Stolarski 2009, 2011; Gittenberger et al. 2011; Janiszewska et al. 2011; Stefani et al. 2011; Stolarski et al. 2011; Budd et al. 2012; Kitahara et al. 2012a,b; Schmidt-Roach et al. 2014), indicating the advantages of an integrated approach for a taxonomic revision…”
Community dynamics and physiology of Symbiodinium spp. before, during, and after a coral bleaching event (2014, background): “Most coral colonies have been found to associate with a single dominant Symbiodinium phylotype (but see Baker and Romanski 2007); however, Orbicella (5 Montastraea, Budd et al. 2012) faveolata often simultaneously hosts three or more genotypically dominant Symbiodinium phylotypes (Rowan and Knowlton”
Effects of the alien coral Tubastraea tagusensis on native coral assemblages in a southwestern Atlantic coral reef (2016, background): “…Phyllangia americana, M. hispida, Mussismilia leptophylla, Siderastrea stellata, and Meandrina braziliensis (the last four species are endemic to Brazilian reefs: e.g., Leão et al. 2003; Neves et al. 2006; Nunes et al. 2008; Budd et al. 2012) and the hydrozoan fire coral Millepora alcicornis.”
