Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic position and taxonomy of Cycloseris explanulata and C. wellsi (Scleractinia: Fungiidae): lost mushroom corals find their way home
Francesca Benzoni,Francesca Benzoni,Roberto Arrigoni,Fabrizio Stefani,Bastian T. Reijnen,Simone Montano,Bert W. Hoeksema +6 more
TL;DR: The scleractinian species Psammocora explanulata and Coscinaraea wellsi were originally classified in the family Siderastreidae, but in a recent morpho-molecular study it appeared that they are more closely related to each other and to the Fungiidae than to any siderASTreid taxon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of the Robust clade (Faviidae, Mussidae, Merulinidae, and Pectiniidae): An Indian Ocean perspective
Roberto Arrigoni,Fabrizio Stefani,Fabrizio Stefani,Michel Pichon,Paolo Galli,Francesca Benzoni,Francesca Benzoni +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the systematics of the Faviidae and the Mussidae is far from being resolved and that the inclusion of conspecific populations of different geographical origin represents an unavoidable step when redescribing the taxonomy and systematicsof scleractinian corals.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phylogeny reconstruction of the Dendrophylliidae (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) based on molecular and micromorphological criteria, and its ecological implications
Roberto Arrigoni,Yuko F. Kitano,Jarosław Stolarski,Bert W. Hoeksema,Hironobu Fukami,Fabrizio Stefani,Paolo Galli,Simone Montano,Elisa Castoldi,Francesca Benzoni,Francesca Benzoni +10 more
TL;DR: A robust molecular phylogeny reconstruction based on two mitochondrial markers (COI and the intergenic spacer between COI and 16S) and one nuclear (rDNA) is used as basis to compare micromorphogical and microstructural character states within the Dendrophylliidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a phylogenetic classification of reef corals: the Indo‐Pacific genera Merulina, Goniastrea and Scapophyllia (Scleractinia, Merulinidae)
Danwei Huang,Danwei Huang,Danwei Huang,Francesca Benzoni,Roberto Arrigoni,Andrew H. Baird,Michael L. Berumen,Jessica Bouwmeester,Loke Ming Chou,Hironobu Fukami,Wilfredo Y. Licuanan,Edward R. Lovell,Rudolf Meier,Peter A. Todd,Ann F. Budd +14 more
TL;DR: Molecular and morphological evidence indicates that the monotypic genus Paraclavarina is nested within Merulina, and the former is therefore synonymised, and a novel lineage composed of three species previously placed in Favites and Goniastrea is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematics of the coral genus Craterastrea (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Scleractinia) and description of a new family through combined morphological and molecular analyses
TL;DR: The genus Craterastrea is restored, the new family Coscinaraeidae is described due to its deep evolutionary divergence from the Siderastreidae, and revised diagnoses of the four genera in the family are provided.
