Medusan morphospace: phylogenetic constraints, biomechanical solutions, and ecological consequences (2008, background): “A fourth class, the Staurozoa, is an early medusozoan taxon (Collins et al. 2006; Van Iten et al. 2006 ) but produces no medusae.”
The phylum Cnidaria: A review of phylogenetic patterns and diversity 300 years after Linnaeus (2007, methodology): “Few tests of cubozoan monophyly have been conducted, but putative synapomorphies for the group can be found in the cladistic analyses of Schuchert (1993), Bridge et al. (1995), Marques and Collins (2004), and Van Iten et al. (2006).”
Phylogenomics provides a robust topology of the major cnidarian lineages and insights on the origins of key organismal traits (2018, unknown): “Critically, prior to the present study, relatively little evidence has been brought to bear on the phylogenetic position of Staurozoa, whether it be from morphology [21, 22, 23, 20, 24], a small number of genes [15, 25], or sparse representation (in terms of both data and taxon sampling) in an other”
Origin and early diversification of the phylum Cnidaria Verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's Proterozoic–Cambrian history (2014, methodology): “…owing perhaps to their periderm having been predominantly organic, palaeontologists might also look for conulariid microfossils (Jerre 1993; Van Iten et al. 2006b), which have been discovered through acid maceration of Palaeozoic carbonate rock units in which conulariid macrofossils are…”
