The diagnosis of mental disorders: the problem of reification. (2010, background): “Indeed, there have been many recent adjustments to the tree of life as burgeoning genomic information has supplemented phenotypic observations (Dunn et al. 2008).”
Birth and early evolution of metazoans (2014, background): “…extant animals (e.g., Margulis and Schwatz, 1982; Shu, 2008), 3) approach frommolecular biology utilizing genome comparison for extant animals (e.g., Dunn et al., 2008), and 4) synthesized approach on the basis of fossil records and molecular phylogeny (e.g., Carroll, 2008; Carroll et al., 2001).”
The Evolution of Brachiopoda (2016, background): “…phoronids would form a clade more closely related either to molluscs (Mallatt & Winchell 2002, Paps et al. 2009, Luo et al. 2015) or to annelids (Dunn et al. 2008, Podsiadlowski et al. 2009), with bryozoans more distantly related, near the base of the lophotrochozoan clade (Nielsen 1995, 2002;…”
Phylogenetic relationships within the Cimicomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera): a total‐evidence analysis (2009, methodology): “This is a phenomenon that has been observed during the course of other analyses, e.g. the 150 gene partitions of Dunn et al (2008), and offers a strong argument for the use of multiple gene regions in attempting to resolve phylogenetic relationships and the simultaneous analysis of the data from…”
Higher-level metazoan relationships: recent progress and remaining questions (2011, methodology): “2009b), or as sister group to Spiralia + Ecdysozoa (Dunn et al. 2008; Marlétaz et al. 2006; Matus et al. 2006).”
Animal Phylogeny and Its Evolutionary Implications (2014, methodology): “Trochozoa, a clade defined by the presence of a trochophore larva, includes at least Annelida, Mollusca, and likely Nemertea (Dunn et al. 2008, Nesnidal et al. 2013).”
OMA standalone: orthology inference among public and custom genomes and transcriptomes (2018, methodology): “However, there is disagreement on the positioning of these clades within the group (Dunn et al. 2008; Struck and Fisse 2008; Struck et al. 2014; Laumer et al. 2015).”
Resolving Difficult Phylogenetic Questions: Why More Sequences Are Not Enough (2011, background): “[2]; in that case, the fast-evolving ctenophores are likely attracted by the distant outgroup (see Text S1).”

An overview of the phylogeny and diversity of eukaryotes (2008, background): “Dire warnings to the contrary (Rokas et al., 2005), large molecular data sets and careful analysis has led to tremendous recent progress in resolving the deepest branches of Metazoa (Dunn et al., 2008).”
Animal biodiversity: An introduction to higher-level classification and taxonomic richness (2011, background): “Ctenophora was placed as sister group to the remaining animals (Porifera (Placozoa (Cnidaria, Bilateria))) in phylogenomic analyses by Dunn et al. (2008) and Hejnol et al. (2009).”
Identifying conserved genomic elements and designing universal bait sets to enrich them (2017, methodology): “2012), transcriptomic (Dunn et al. 2008; Smith et al. 2011; Misof et al. 2014) and targeted enrichment (Bi et al.”
