Reef-associated crustacean fauna: biodiversity estimates using semi-quantitative sampling and DNA barcoding (2009, background): “These extrapolations have created much controversy (Lambshead and Boucher 2003) as there is no easy and straightforward way of estimating global marine Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.”
Defining operational taxonomic units using DNA barcode data (2005, background): “Thus, the number of described species of nematodes is quoted as between 26 000 and 40 000, but the real total estimated to be above one million (Lambshead 1993; Platt 1994; Lambshead & Boucher 2003).”
Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, methodology): “…— the so-called Linnean shortfall (Brown & Lomolino 1998) — appear to be of increasing severity as the organisms decrease in size and complexity, e.g. from vertebrate groups, to invertebrates, down to nematodes (e.g. see: Medellín & Soberón, 1999; Ødegaard et al. , 2000; Lambshead & Boucher, 2003).”
The exploration of marine biodiversity: scientific and technological challenges (2006, background): “, based on a new deep-sea dataset, and concluded that marine nematodes may in fact have fewer than 1 million species (Lambshead and Boucher 2003).”
Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “Since then, the question of whether the deep sea is (hyper) diverse (Gray, 1994, 2002; Gray et al., 1997; Lambshead and Boucher, 2003) and what mechanisms maintain such high diversity (Grassle and Sanders, 1973; Grassle, 1989; Gage and Tyler, 1991; Etter and Grassle, 1992; Lambshead, 1993; Rogers,…”
Darkness visible: reflections on underground ecology (2005, unknown): “That heterogeneity is likely to be the key to understanding soil biodiversity is emphasized by the very different picture that emerges from studies of marine nematodes, where early expectations that the taxon would prove to be hyperdiverse are now being scaled back (Lambshead & Boucher 2003).”
Metagenetic analysis of patterns of distribution and diversity of marine meiobenthic eukaryotes (2014, background): “Distribution patterns are understood relatively well in macroscopic organisms such as plants and animals, but are hotly debated in small-bodied taxa (Lambshead & Boucher, 2003), including eukaryotic meiobenthic fauna.”
The promise of a DNA taxonomy. (2004, unknown): “…of nematodes, with ca. 26 000 described species, is estimated to be in the low millions (Lambshead (1993); but see also an alternative view expressed in Lambshead & Boucher (2003)), whereas only ca. 25% of arthropods have been described, despite a ‘known’ species count of over one million.”
