• Biomineralization and Evolutionary History (2003, neutral): “…the end of the Permian, and the scleractinian corals that would rise to ecological prominence in Mesozoic and Cenozoic ecosystems appear only in Middle Triassic rocks (Stanley 2003), apparently evolving carbonate skeletons de novo in at least two distinct actinarian stocks (Romano and Cairns 2000).”
• Diversity and Evolution of Coral Fluorescent Proteins (2008, background): “Scleractinia have been proposed to originate several times from a Corallimorpharia-like ancestor by acquiring the ability to deposit a calcium carbonate skeleton [38].”
• Mass extinctions and macroevolution (2005, background): “…and an apparently global upheaval of reef communities lend credibility to some kind of exceptional biotic turnover in both the late Devonian and latest Triassic (McGhee 1996; Page 1996; Hallam and Wignall 1997; Balinski et al. 2002; Copper 2002; Flügel 2002; Racki and House 2002; Stanley 2003).”
