• Phylogeny and Molecular Evolution of the Green Algae (2012, background): “750 mya) has been attributed to siphonocladous green algae (Cladophorales) (Butterfield et a l, 1994; Butterfield, 2009), while the oldest reli­ able records of the siphonous seaweeds (Bryopsidales, Dasycladales) and stoneworts (Charophyceae) are from the Paleozoic (Haii and Delwiche, 2007; Verbrugg”
• Proterozoic photosynthesis – a critical review (2015, background): “F, Jacutianema solubila; from the early–middle Neoproterozoic Svanbergfjellet Formation, Akademikerbreen Group, Spitsbergen (Butterfield 2004).”
• The Multiple Origins of Complex Multicellularity (2011, background): “Regardless of systematic relationships, Proterozoic fossils confirm the phylogenetic inference that simple multicellularity evolved early and often within the Eukarya (Knoll et al. 2006, Butterfield 2009).”
• Remarkable insights into the paleoecology of the Avalonian Ediacaran macrobiota (2015, unknown): “…structure (Grazhdankin and Ivantsov, 1996; Bottjer and Clapham, 2006; Droser et al., 2006), ichnological activity (Mángano and Buatois, 2014), and potential relationships between the biota and ambient environmental conditions (e.g. Fedonkin, 2003; Butterfield, 2009b; Lenton et al., 2014).”
• Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “Eukaryoticity can also be recognized in early multicellular fossils, where particular patterns of intercellular geometry and/or whole-organism morphology reflect exclusively eukaryotic grades of development (Figs 5–7; Butterfield 2009).”
