Association of insect life stages using DNA sequences: the larvae of Philodytes umbrinus (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) (2005, result): “These divergence patterns are similar to values obtained for other insect taxa (e.g. Hebert, 2004) and for mitochondrial gene divergences between animals in general (Avise, 2000).”
Resolving Food-Web Structure (2020, background): “The discovery of such cryptic species has accelerated with the advent of modern molecular diagnostics, especially DNA barcoding (Hebert et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2006, 2007, 2008; Janzen et al. 2017).”
DNA barcoding Australia's fish species (2005, background): “Empirical support for the barcoding concept ranges from studies of invertebrates (e.g. springtails and butterflies) to birds (Hebert et al. 2004a,b; Hogg & Hebert 2004).”
DNA barcoding reveals new insights into the diversity of Antarctic species of Orchomene sensu lato (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea) (2011, background): “…in our COI dataset means that the assignment of a specimen to a particular species based on a ‘‘threshold’’ value of sequence divergence would mostly work for this group and would be also efficient to detect new and/or cryptic species (Hebert et al., 2003a, 2004b; Barrett and Hebert, 2005).”
A comparison of algorithms for the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes: examples from gymnosperms (2007, background): “…c oxidase subunit I ( COI ) has been the locus of choice for most of the recent exemplar studies (Wells and Sperling, 2001; Wells et al., 2001a,b; Hebert et al., 2003, 2004a,b; Hogg and Hebert, 2004; Whiteman et al., 2004; Ball et al., 2005; Barrett and Hebert, 2005; Lambert et al., 2005; Lorenz…”
Current progress in DNA barcoding and future implications for entomology (2011, background): “First, DNA barcoding can be used to identify cryptic, previously overlooked species (Hebert et al. 2004b; Janzen et al. 2005).”
DNA barcodes of closely related (but morphologically and ecologically distinct) species of skipper butterflies (Hesperiidae) can differ by only one to three nucleotides (2007, background): “…of DNA barcodes and the fact that they have often indicated overlooked species, it is important to consider characters besides the barcodes themselves—a point made repeatedly in the revelation of 10 cryptic species hiding under the one name Astraptes fulgerator (Walch) in ACG (Hebert et al. 2004).”
DNA barcoding Australasian chondrichthyans: results and potential uses in conservation (2008, background): “springtails and butterflies) to birds (Hogg and Hebert 2004; Hebert et al. 2004a, 2004b ).”
Impact of DNA sequence-data on the taxonomy of anamorphic fungi (2007, background): “The efficacy of DNA barcoding has been evaluated in some major groups such as birds (Hebert et al., 2004b), fishes (Ward et al., 2005), and Lepidopteron insects (Hebert et al., 2004a; Hajibabaei et al., 2006), marine algae (Saunders, 2005).”
Distinguishing cryptic species in Antarctic Asellota (Crustacea: Isopoda) - a preliminary study of mitochondrial DNA in Acanthaspidia drygalskii (2006, background): “Cryptic species are well-known from terrestrial habitats (Feldman & Spicer 2002, Bond et al. 2003, Hebert et al. 2004, Olson et al. 2004), and numerous examples for marine and freshwater habitats have been described (e.g. France & Kocher 1996, Bucklin et al. 1998, de Vargas et al. 1999, Etter et…”
Revealing secret liaisons: DNA barcoding changes our understanding of food webs (2010, methodology): “Yet, despite the potential power of molecular species characterisation (and, in particular, DNA ‘barcoding’; Hebert et al., 2004; Challis et al., 2007; Hajibabei et al., 2007; Ács et al., 2010; Nicholls et al., 2010), these techniques have rarely been used in food web studies.”
The response of Chironomidae to sediment pollution and other environmental characteristics in urban wetlands (2007, background): “, 2005) as well as other invertebrates (Hebert et al., 2004; Page, Choy & Hughes, 2005).”
Identifying Canadian Freshwater Fishes through DNA Barcodes (2008, background): “Although barcode analyses primarily seek to delineate species boundaries at the COI locus for the assignment of unknown individuals to known species, unsuspected diversity and overlooked species are often detected through barcodes analyses, sometimes spectacularly [10,18,47].”
