The new systematics of scleractinia: Integrating molecular and morphological evidence (2016, background): “…species are necessary, such as in the case of species in Astreopora (Suzuki and Nomura 2013), Pocillopora (Pinzón and LaJeunesse 2010; Pinzón et al. 2012, 2013; Torda et al. 2013a, b; Marti-Puig et al. 2014; Schmidt-Roach et al. 2013, 2014) and Psammocora (Benzoni et al. 2010;…”
With eyes wide open: a revision of species within and closely related to the Pocillopora damicornis species complex (Scleractinia; Pocilloporidae) using morphology and genetics (2014, methodology): “The same method was used to compare our data with described genetic lineages of previous studies (inclucing: Flot et al., 2008; Pinzón & LaJeunesse, 2010; Souter, 2010; Schmidt-Roach et al., 2012a, b; Pinzón et al., 2013).”
Marginal coral populations: the densest known aggregation of Pocillopora in the Galápagos Archipelago is of asexual origin (2014, background): “The mismatch between genetic data and traditional species designations based on morphology calls into question previously published species distributions and occurrences of Pocillopora in the TEP and elsewhere (Combosch and Vollmer, 2011; Pinzón et al., 2013; Schmidt-Roach et al., 2013).”
