• Power and limitations of the chloroplast trnL (UAA) intron for plant DNA barcoding (2006, background): “DNA barcoding is a relatively new concept (1,2), aiming to provide rapid, accurate and automatable species identifications by using a standardized DNA region as a tag (3).”
• DNA-based methods for monitoring invasive species: a review and prospectus (2007, background): “These regions are chosen based on observable patterns of molecular evolution—candidate regions for barcoding must exhibit low intraspecific sequence variation but sufficiently high interspecific variation to unambiguously differentiate species (Blaxter 2004; Hebert and Gregory 2005).”
• Identifying Canadian Freshwater Fishes through DNA Barcodes (2008, methodology): “DNA barcoding is designed to provide accurate, and automated species identifications through the use of molecular species tags based on short, standardised gene regions [1,2].”
• Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “Some authors have speculated that DNA barcoding could be used to identify most species, because, for most of the genera studied so far, significant genetic differences have been observed between member species (Hebert et al. 2003; Ball et al. 2005; Hebert and Gregory 2005).”
• An update on chloroplast genomes (2008, methodology): “The long-term goal of DNA Barcoding is to provide a rapid, accurate and automat- able method for species identification using a standardized DNA region acting as a unique species-specific ‘tag’ (Hebert et al. 2003, Chase et al. 2005, Hebert and Gregory 2005).”
• DNA barcoding for ecologists. (2009, methodology): “It relies on the use of a standardized DNA region as a tag for rapid and accurate species identification [ 3 ].”
• Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation. (2009, background): “This is in agreement with other studies of widespread geographic samples (Hebert and Gregory 2005; Pons et al., 2006) where mtDNA patterns were retained under broad geographical sampling.”
• Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, positive): “Furthermore, attaching molecular data (such as DNA barcodes Hebert & Gregory, 2005) will help to identify species and provide datasets to enable phylogenetic autocorrelation to be corrected in the trait data.”
• Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants (2011, background): “DNA barcoding, an approach to identify species based on sequences from a short, standardized DNA region, opens up a unique avenue for the identification of organisms (6, 7).”
• DNA barcoding in land plants: evaluation of rbcL in a multigene tiered approach (2006, background): “This ‘‘unknown factor’’ is an issue with any discovery-based project, but as Hebert and Gregory (2005) observe, such projects always produce numerous unanticipated hypotheses.”
• DNA barcoding and taxonomy in Diptera: a tale of high intraspecific variability and low identification success. (2006, background): “It is in this context revealing that current work on barcoding concentrates on taxonomically well-known groups such as birds, fish, and Lepidoptera (Hebert and Gregory, 2005; Hebert et al., 2003a, 2004b).”
