Morphological variation in the atlantic genus Siderastrea (Anthozoa, Scleractinia) [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia (São Paulo), 2014 Siderastrea is a small genus of scleractinian corals, composed by zooxanthellate massive colonial forms. Besides contributing to the consolidation of the reef structure, represent a group with significant resistance to environmental stress. Until the 70's, its taxonomy was a complicated task, limited by the difficulty in identifying morphotypes.

Monopodial and Sympodial Growth Modes in the Colonial Graptolithina (Hemichordata, Pterobranchia)
Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2025.ABSTRACT Two growth modes are recognized in colonial pterobranchs (Graptolithina): monopodial growth and sympodial growth. The earliest colonial Graptolithina likely developed through monopodial growth, a mode of colony formation well‐documented in the extant graptolite Rhabdopleura normani.
