A molecularly based phylogeny reconstruction of mushroom corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) with taxonomic consequences and evolutionary implications for life history traits
- A. Gittenberger, B. Reijnen, B. Hoeksema
- Biology
- 23 March 2011
The phylogenetic relationships of the Fungiidae, a family of predominantly free-living, zooxanthellate, reef corals, were studied by sequencing a part of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI)…
Half of the European fruit fly species barcoded (Diptera, Tephritidae); a feasibility test for molecular identification

It is demonstrated that the success of DNA barcoding for identification purposes strongly depends on the contents of the database used to BLAST against, and the necessity of including multiple specimens per species of geographically distinct populations and different ecologies for the understanding of the intra- versus interspecific variation is demonstrated.
Phylogenetic position and taxonomy of Cycloseris explanulata and C. wellsi (Scleractinia: Fungiidae): lost mushroom corals find their way home

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…

- 20 March 2013
A biogeographical scenario for Triturus is provided, showing the positions of glacial refugia, the regions that were postglacially colonized and the areas where species displaced one another as they shifted their ranges.
Unforeseen importance of historical collections as baselines to determine biotic change of coral reefs: the Saba Bank case
- B. Hoeksema, J. Landvander, J. VoogddeN.
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2011
The importance of natural history collections as reservoirs of valuable data relevant to coral reef biodiversity studies in a time of global change is addressed.
Fish, fans and hydroids: host species of pygmy seahorses
- B. Reijnen, S. E. T. van der Meij, L. V. van Ofwegen
- Environmental ScienceZooKeys
- 10 June 2011
An overview of the octocoral and hydrozoan host species of pygmy seahorses is provided based on literature records and recently collected field data, as well as the reliability of (previous) identifications and conservation issues.

Phylogenetic ecology of octocoral - gastropod associations
- B. Reijnen
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 11 October 2016
The results show that snails and octocorals did not coevolve, but that the evolutionary history between both groups is best described as sequential evolution in which the host affects the symbiont but not vice versa.
