- Jellyfish fisheries in the Americas: origin, state of the art, and perspectives on new fishing grounds (2017, neutral): “However, Appeltans et al. (2012) suggest that the number of scyphozoan species may increase after further research and more comprehensive studies.”
- A review of Italian research on free-living marine nematodes and the future perspectives on their use as Ecological Indicators (EcoInds) (2015, background): “Nematodes are, in fact, the dominant and most diverse group within the meiofauna (e.g. Balsamo et al ., 2010; Appeltans et al ., 2012).”
- Inordinate Fondness Multiplied and Redistributed: the Number of Species on Earth and the New Pie of Life (2017, background): “Additionally, several authors have suggested that synonyms (multiple names corresponding to the same biological species) might counteract the additions to global species richness from cryptic species (Mora et al. 2011; Appeltans et al. 2012; Pimm 2012).”

- Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “The number of species of Ascidiacea may be underestimated (Appeltans et al. 2012), mainly due to limited collections from areas including South and Central America, northern Canada, Alaska, and the tropical western Pacific Ocean (Shenkar”
- The new systematics of scleractinia: Integrating molecular and morphological evidence (2016, background): “At present, Scleractinia contains 31 families, about 240 genera, and over 1,500 species (Cairns 1999, 2009; Appeltans et al. 2012; Huang and Roy 2015), including both zooxanthellate—hosting the symbiotic dinoflagallate Symbiodinium— and azooxanthellate corals.”
- Physical and Biological Determinants of the Fabrication of Molluscan Shell Microstructures (2018, background): “Molluscs are, after the Arthropoda, the most diverse marine phylum of invertebrates, with an imprecise known diversity between 41,000 and 53,000 species (Appeltans et al., 2012).”
- Eukaryotic plankton diversity in the sunlit ocean (2015, background): “2 million species [including all benthic and planktonic systems from reefs to deep-sea vents (20, 21)] but do not take into account the protistan knowledge gap highlighted here.”
- HOW MANY SPECIES OF ALGAE ARE THERE? (2012, background): “The figures of Appeltans et al. (2012) indicate that, at most, 66%–75% of eukaryotic marine species remain to be described.”
- A global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone (2017, background): “Rigorous quantitative analyses of taxonomic and environmental data for the deep-pelagic zone on a global scale are currently impeded by the spatially patchy and inconsistent manner of data collection over large areas, and because less than 1% of this enormous habitat has been sampled (Webb et al., 2”
- Metabarcoding reveals strong spatial structure and temporal turnover of zooplankton communities among marine and freshwater ports (2016, background): “However, biodiversity assessments of aquatic organisms are challenged by the time and cost of surveys, and by the large number of species that are morphologically cryptic and remain undescribed (Appeltans et al., 2012).”
