• The architecture of Ediacaran Fronds (2012, methodology): “However, this view currently rests in the balance; alternative affinities including fungal (Peterson et al. 2003) and protozoan (Pflug 1972a, b; Zhuravlev 1993; Seilacher et al. 2003) relationships have been proposed, while doubt has also been cast on suggested direct relationships with crown group ”
• The Multiple Origins of Complex Multicellularity (2011, background): “…colonial cnidarians anchored to the Ediacaran seafloor, but the Ediacaran fossils tend to lack morphological features consistent with a cnidarian interpretation (Narbonne 2004, Antcliffe & Brasier 2007, Laflamme & Narbonne 2008, Xiao & Laflamme 2009), including oral openings and tentacles.”
• Remarkable insights into the paleoecology of the Avalonian Ediacaran macrobiota (2015, unknown): “2D), new branches were added sequentially at the tip of the frond, rather than at the base as in sea pens (Antcliffe and Brasier, 2007).”
• Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “Frondlike Ediacarans have been interpreted as pennatulacean cnidarians, but this comparison is unconvincing (Antcliffe and Brasier, 2007, 2008). The terminal Ediacaran skeletonizing organisms Cloudina, Namacalathus, Nemapoika, and Sinotubulites have been considered total-group cnidarians (Wood, 2011”
• Origin and early diversification of the phylum Cnidaria Verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's Proterozoic–Cambrian history (2014, background): “Likewise, similarities between the benthic rangeomorphs and extant colonial anthozoans or hydrozoan polyps are superficial (e.g. Narbonne 2004; Antcliffe and Brasier 2007; Brasier and Antcliffe 2009).”
