Analyses of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the 5.8s gene indicate that extremely high rDNA heterogeneity is a unique feature in the scleractinian coral genus Acropora (Scleractinia; acroporidae) (2006, methodology): “Vollmer and Palumbi (2004) analyzed sequence divergence rates between rDNA and single-copy nuclear genes of the Caribbean Acropora and suggested that the Caribbean Acropora rDNA lineages were quite ancient and predated the split of the species.”
How are coral populations structured by light? Marine light regimes and the distribution of Madracis (2002, background): “The characterization of M. decactis and M. pharensis as 1 entity is supported by genetical data (Diekmann et al. 2001).”
Slow mitochondrial DNA sequence evolution in the Anthozoa (Cnidaria) (2002, background): “In addition, data support a reticulate evolutionary history for several anthozoan species, corals in particular (Odorico & Miller 1997; Hatta et al. 1999; Marquez et al. 2000; Vollmer & Palumbi 2000; Diekmann et al. 2001; McFadden & Hutchinson 2001; van Oppen et al. , 2000, 2001, 2002a, 2002b).”
Debating phylogenetic relationships of the scleractinian Psammocora: molecular and morphological evidences (2007, background): “…2002; Vollmer and Palumbi, 2004; Chen et al., 2004), in parallel to its growing use (Hunter et al., 1997; Lopez and Knowlton, 1997; Medina et al., 1997; Odorico and Miller, 1997; van Oppen et al., 2000, 2002; Diekmann et al., 2001; Rodriguez-Lanetty and Hoegh-Guldberg, 2002; Chen et al., 2004).”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “Recent molecular analyses (i.e., ITS sequences) on several species in the genus Madracis from the Caribbean have shown high levels of intraspecific and intra-individual variability (Diekmann et al., 2001).”
The Role of Hybridization in the Evolution of Reef Corals (2006, background): “Mixed paraphyly and site-specific polymorphisms, including additivity at nine sites, were interpreted as provisional evidence of hybridization among M. decactis, M. pharensis, and M. formosa (Diekmann et al. 2001).”
Temporal reproductive isolation and gametic compatibility are evolutionary mechanisms in the Acropora humilis species group (Cnidaria; Scleractinia) (2003, background): “morphs. The species are A. humilis ( Dana 1846 ), A. gemmifera (Brook 1892), A.”
A molecularly based phylogeny reconstruction of mushroom corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) with taxonomic consequences and evolutionary implications for life history traits (2011, background): “…were obscured by intraspecific variation and homoplasy, molecular methods have become helpful in determining species boundaries (Oppen et al., 2000; Diekmann et al., 2001, Gittenberger and Hoeksema, 2006), along with subsequent newly examined microstructural skeleton characters (Benzoni et al.,…”

The name game: morpho‐molecular species boundaries in the genus Psammocora (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) (2010, background): “…generation times, which obscure the distinction between ancestral polymorphism and recent hybridisation, have been also suggested (Medina et al., 1999; van Oppen et al., 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004; Diekmann et al., 2001; Márquez et al., 2002; Wolstenholme et al., 2003; McFadden & Hutchinson, 2004).”
