“…Polymorphism was not visible in rDNA electropherograms, yet intraindividual variability could not be ruled out since samples were not cloned and screened. Alignment of the rDNA portion was conducted on a total of 51 Psammocora specimens (Table 1) and one Coscinaraea columna (Dana, 1846) (W600) and two Coscinaraea monile (Forskål, 1775) sequences (CM5 and K122) as outgroups. A total of 29 polymorphic sites, 16 of which are parsimony informative, were identified.…”

“…Skeletal structures in the Indo‐Pacific coral genus Psammocora Dana, 1846, present peculiar features exclusively found in this taxon among the extant Scleractinia (see Benzoni et al ., 2007, for a review). Species synonymies between some of the 24 nominal species described have been proposed by different authors (Veron & Pichon, 1976; Scheer & Pillai, 1983; Sheppard & Sheppard, 1991; Stefani et al ., 2008b).…”

The morphometric and molecular boundaries between twelve Psammocora (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) nominal species were addressed. The type specimens of were analysed together with specimens from museum collections, including those depicted in widely cited taxonomic descriptions, and material collected for this study in different parts of the Indo-Pacific. Morphometric analyses of the dimensions of skeletal structures allowed the identification of groups of specimens with similar morphologies. Congruency between these groups and current species whose synonymies and descriptions were found in recent taxonomic references was, hence, investigated and the species revised. Finally, the phylogenetic relationships of a representative subset of specimens were reconstructed based on rDNA and COI, thus allowing a direct link between morphologic and genetic information. Incongruence between type of morphology and literature descriptions was evidenced for some widely recognised species. Based on this integrated approach, five species were unambiguously identified.

. 2013: Attachment structures in Rhizotrochus (Scleractinia): macro-to microscopic traits and their evolutionary significance. Lethaia, Vol. 46, Marine sessile benthic organisms living on hard substrates have evolved a variety of attachment strategies. Rhizotrochus (Scleractinia, Flabellidae) is a representative azooxanthellate solitary scleractinian coral with a wide geographical distribution and unique attachment structures; it firmly attaches to hard substrates using numerous tube-like rootlets, which are extended from a corallum wall, whereas most sessile corals are attached by stereome-reinforced structures at their corallite bases. Detailed morphological and constructional traits of the rootlets themselves, along with their evolutionary significance, have not yet been fully resolved. Growth and developmental processes of spines in Truncatoflabellum and rootlets in Rhizotrochus suggest that these structures are homologous, as they both develop from the growth edges of walls and are formed by transformation of wall structures and their skeletal microstructures possess similar characteristics, such as patterns of rapid accretion and thickening deposits. Taking molecular phylogeny and fossil records of flabellids into consideration, Rhizotrochus evolved from a common free-living ancestor and invaded hard-substrate habitats by exploiting rootlets of spines origin, which were adaptive for soft-substrate
